It's about my grief.It's about the dark feelings in my mind.It's about my addiction.
They told me...

To face the gravest perils
With a gladdened soul.

To brave the greatest devastations
With a light soul.

Carry on gladly
Throughout the journey.

To be glad
For what I was.

To face the fiercest foes
With a smile.

They told me...
To be always glad.

I heeded them...

Only to be cursed,
Only to be addicted.

I longed to be happy,
I avoided the Grief...
Treated it as my foe.

My gladness was a curse
Far worse than any other...
My happiness was an addiction,
The greatest devastation...

I could no longer bear the Pain...
I could no longer bear the Grief...

My prone mind
Weakened my soul...
Although I knew my gladness
Would someday betray me...
I longed for it...
Desired it...

Grief and Pain,
My true foes...
They never left my side...

Happiness, my delusion,
An illusion faded away...

Grief and Pain,
My truest friends...
They never left my side...
