lyrics

Swallowed by the darkness
For most of the year
Drowned by stress at work
meds don't feel sincere
But the company of the bottle
Therapy we all know
No wonder that we have a word
For getting drunk alone

We are known as silent
And we keep ourselves modest
But there is plenty of violence
In relationships to be honest
Our corruption and sorrow
Doesn't always meet the eye
when grief gets overwhelming
We take our lives

It's jackpot to be born
In the happiest country in the world
So declares the UN's report
For the third time in a row
I wish i could feel the same or
Even witness it around
But honestly this all just feels
Like another pr stunt

No greeting between neighbors
Low wages for the labor
Our system seems to favor
Rich leeches without honor
Some say the key to our joy
Is low population so
some want to close the boarders
From all the refugees

But after all
Don't forget where you are from
But after all
This is the place where i belong

It's jackpot to be born
In the happiest country in the world
So declares the UN's report
For the third time in a row
I wish i could feel the same or
even witness it around
But honestly this all just feels
Like another pr stunt
