    Lyrics -
    Havent seemed havent seen happy its gonna come to me
    When it does
    I dont know where Ill keep it at all
    In my room where I sleep to keep away bad dreams
    In my heart, I dont know
    Loneliness takes up all that space
    So when Im feeling low Ill take out my check book and buy a new car
    Oh that sweet distraction, that comfortable discontent, Im in love
    Andrea's in the room kicking her shoes off
    Sing along, singing along
    Shaking our blues off we sing
    Ive come up with a plan so brilliant
    Like Times Square, mid-day
    Thoughts are directed in every way
    And so Ill keep my eyes on the billboard ads displayed
    Kill my heart, no fix it up
    Oh those sweet distractions, inviting discontent, Im in love

    Last time I saw them, I yelled for them to play it even though they never do. Ian broke his guitar string, and then without hesitation, busted out Daysleeper. It was pretty magical. I may be the only person who's seen it live.

    Dath has super uplifting songs and so intensely sad songs. Theyre one of the rare bands who can perfectly capture these two extremes. I just hope the happy songs came after the sad ones. I hope all band members are living happy lives. Theyve brought me so much clarity and love!
