about

happiness. To me happiness isn't one emotion. Its all of them in a positive direction. Its anger, sadness, fear and ya happiness. This song is more or less a satire song. Its all a breakdown and its that for a reason. Because that's the most fun of any heavy song to me is the breakdown. I was in a pretty rough spot when I wrote this song and I wondered if despair is so strong then the opposite has to be just as strong right? Joy. Your joy is a destroyer. I love that. Joy really does shatter all bonds negativity has on us as people .When you listen to this song get joyful man. Do flips off your couch, cry in the middle of the floor or stare at the wall with a grin so big it hurts.

lyrics

I am not the messenger
i am not the messenger
I am the message of JOY

this is joy thats beyond a conquerer
this is happiness that turns enemies to brothers
celebrate your life you've got every reason too
burn the threads of hate that seem to always greet you
crush every negative thought that plagues your sleep
embrace this strength,this love that will never leave you

a happiness with so much power

Your joy is a destroyer

Your joy is a destroyer
Everything that stands in it's path
Will be crushed by your laughter

it cries out for you,take me,im yours
this loving joy burns for you take me I'm yours

2X what destroys loneliness?.What destroys hatred?.What destroys depression?.What destroys enemies?JOY
