Second-Hand Joy

I'll visit you for awhile
Maybe recreate your inner child
I'll leave suddenly
You'll wonder what has become of me
I'll peek over your shoulder
Maybe pat you on the back
Whisper in your ear
Tell you to relax
I'll give your conscience some answers
Then i'll ask you all the questions
Perhaps visit the shadows for awhile
Take away any reason to smile
Next, I might jump into your head
Bathe where your illusions bled
I might make you a promise
Then quickly take it back
I'll call white all the shades of black
I'll make you live my way
Make you believe it's alright
Then leave you astray
With no hope in sight
I'll tell you you're brilliant
Then make sure you're insane
I'll count the times you smile
Then make you cry for awhile
I'll recommend you take some time
Find you a way to hold up the sign
I'll admire the tango, give you a chance
Then take away all the reasons to dance

Why?

Because I am joy and while I sit on your bed
Sadness is but close ahead
I close my eyes and find another place
Desert you in your empty space
I return with expectations of perpetual bliss
A devil's contract with no risk
For I am Joy
Leaving is what I do best
