-----------------------------------
Lyrics:
I know I’ll never feel the same
I know I may never accept the change but I want
Happiness
I’m staring blank at my screen
Waiting for a sign, waiting for a smile to come to me
Happiness
Every day the news is death
You power drunk fuckers are filling my head with despair
Not happiness
Liars
Maybe I became too clean
Maybe the drugs are the only way to be free
Happiness
No breaking the anxiety
The man that I tried to but could never be faded out
With happiness
Everday hypocrisy
I see the zombies walking down the street and it kills me
Their happiness
Liars
© & ℗ IAMX Productions Inc. 2015

Yup!
Five years ago, this song significantly changed my life. I listened to it on repeat while going through one of the worst times I've gone through. It made me realize everything in my life I may love, but it was making me miserable. "I know I'll never feel the same, but I want happiness." It really stuck with me. Honestly, if I never heard this song my entire life would have gone drastically different. Because of this, I got {X} tattooed on me, to remind me I can Choose happiness. I did it before, and I'll do it again. I made it through all the rough spots before, I'll make it through anything. Thank you Chris, for being that light that I needed. You may never know it, but your music brings me so much happiness and inspiration I never have found in any other music.

Hey Miss Alizabeth Nova? Would you do me a favor please? If you haven't already, please take what you just wrote there and send it to him personally. Even if you don't think he'll care or it matters, would you do it just for me if you don't do it for any other reason? I know personally as a musician if I heard somebody say something like that about something I had written it might just actually truly bring him some peace of mind and happiness for real! Do it however you're most comfortable. Cut and paste it and send it to their page. Or if you're like me and you like to go to shows, just tell him after the show in person what you wrote! That would I think that be the most gratifying cuz you would get to see that reaction on his face when you tell him that. But I don't know how shy you are, perhaps just sending it as an email might be easier for you. All I know is I'm sure he will not forget that. And it may not be the craziest idea to think that he might even NEED to hear that. More often than not, when you're in entertainment, especially when you're in front of the camera the performing type, nothing seems to fill that void, that hole in our souls, that bottomless pit of yearning because something is lacking either in our pasts, our upbringings, or our chemical imbalances that were born with just simply aren't the same stable levels as most others. But there's something about performing that puts the most gratifying, long-lasting, and probably the healthiest Band-Aid of a quick fix on that wound, usually each and every time you get the privilege of performing for an audience. That's why it's an addiction for us. But at least it's a healthier addiction than most other things that we tend to turn to again in in that industry. But hearing something that deep from somebody who listens to the stuff you create to fill that void and to know that it means something equally as important to you if not more important to you, this probably does something even deeper than performing. It's the kind of thing that when you're in some weird bed later that night on tour, cold, alone, and just trying to make through these last few dates and having a hard time remembering why you're doing all this and struggling so much as an artist when really you could go the easy route like everybody else and find a sugar spouse to take care of you and just surrender to a simpler life, a boring but cushy job, because doing what you love as an art as a lifestyle, costs you pretty much all of your life. But when you hear something like that, all of a sudden, it just becomes clear again as to why you putting yourself through all that struggle, and why you started doing this in the first place.

This song should be the ending song for cyberpunk 2
To all of the people who said a tv show brought them here..good for you, it shouldn't matter how you discover good music. He's an amazing, talented artist and deserves all of the recognition. I'm glad you were able to find out about him and enjoy his music
Дорогой Крис! Ваше исполнение прекрасно! Голос, музыка, видео - ничего не оставляет меня равнодушной! Слушаю Ваши песни практически каждый день и каждый раз наслаждаюсь! Спасибо Вам! Пусть у Вас всё будет хорошо!
The rawness of his voice is always almost unreal.
Another brilliant contemporary artist from the UK. Radiohead, Muse, IAMX.
This is ART. The very theatrical and intense expressions since 0:33, then 1:28, 1:57, 2:28; 2:45...(without counting the perfection of Chris' glances) they all moved me so much at first sight. Congrats to Chris, Janine and everybody who joined the making of this video. I'm a fan since 2008 and I still feel thrilled by IAMX.
Once again a masterpiece by one of the best artists right now.
HTGAWM + IAMX = perfection
Minimal yet high-impact chiaroscuro highlighting tense physicality of Cronus...this video did not let the song down

This Song Really Is About Happiness! *Sarcasm* This Song Sends Shivers Down My Spine.
I've never visited a song cause of a show before and it used to annoy me when people used to say that in the comments all the time, but this was a great HTGAWM episode! Love this song!
I'm DYING for IAMX to get the recognition he deserves. His music is AMAZING! I'm truly a fan for LIFE!
Leave it to CC to make the word happiness convey the deepest despair. I love the song. I love the video. I love the artists. He breaks my heart when he bares his soul and I welcome the aching. Sorrow has a beauty.
I love the subtle changes in his expression. Goosebumps
I get to analyse this song and its video for my Modern Poetry class at University! Best fun I've ever had in a class!
This music is feeding my soul
My love for IAMX brought me here, and continues to do so.
I can’t believe it’s been 7 years. Wow. I listened to this on repeat when it came out. ❤
Love it! I'm new to this band but glad I found them. They have a Depeche Mode-ish kinda feel to them. Definitely a fan! :3

maikusch i like IAMX/Sneaker pimps quite a bit and i think the album he did with jim abyss was his worst so far. i listened to the album a few times and it just didnt have that warm analogue indie buzz his other stuff does. even now it sounds more sequenced then played. his sounds have become too refined and clean. i hope the rest of his album is better than 'happiness'. good song but not much of a grand or deep statement in the song.

This is BEAUTIFUL! Congrats to the team and my talented friend Buddy Daniels Freidman who's doing some great work!
Even the way he released it is genius, he has always been one of the leaders of independent music. It's not public, so no ads!
Exquisitely filmed. The water droplets feel like crystals and glitter spangled across the grim, noir palette. Truly artistic.
Powerful
Janine looks fucking wicked in this video, this was perfect.
One of my favourite IAMX music's.The text is just Chris in his best
wonderful. beautiful. breathtaking. both song and the video. you never disappoint.
the ending's fast pace rythem is so bad-ass. imagine if the whole song had that. good song never the less...
The best song for this (our) time, no happiness only liars everywhere….
Happiness a state that I will never get, a touch of it is your music Chris, thank you for everything 🖤
i can't get enough of his music. he has such a great voice and damn, these music videos. the atmopshere, the colours, everything. i'm in love.
So glad to see them LIVE 24 june 2022 in Ostend - Sinner's Day Summer .
Thank you to everyone who worked on this beautiful piece of art.
Excellente! Congrats Chris you have out done yourself again.
Utterly obessed with this why am I only finding it NOW
Best song ever written, sung.. This in the 80',s would be #1! C'EST LA VERITE. THIS IS #1 IN MANY TODAY... WHAT A VOICE! LOVE YA BROTHER, LOVE YOUR SHARES IN THESE LYING PLANDEMIC TIMES... OUR HOME IS YOURS, 100 ACRES, NO NEIGHBORS.
just fucking brilliant. amazing visuals to an amazing track. thank you to all involved.
Amazing. Your voice continues to drive the machine that is IAMX. Extremely rare. Uncompromisingly beautiful. Chicago awaits. Bravo.
This Song blew me away and made me come back to the sublime artist that Chris Is. Every note,every lyric,Imagine are so full of emotions that i feel mine. Never had a connection so intense with anyone before. Thank u from the most intimate part of my soul
Nothing could be more true in 2024.
I had the ugliest meltdown at an IAMX show, months ago, and couldn't bring myself to put the music back on since that night. Well I finally did. And it feels amazing. His music's been a huge help in getting better, and now I'm picking up that fight again.
It is one of the best song, on my opinion. Nicely done guys!
Just back from the New york concert. It was brilliant!
Thank you, IAMX.
I've been into IAMX for years. Last night the club I go to played this song and I was fucking losing it.

I've just play it again and again ..... it makes me happy!!! I love them
I saw them in concert last night. The best I’ve ever experienced
I love this Song ......
Glad I found another song I really like - that doesnt happen too often !
Wonderful! I can't wait to hear the entire album. I'm glad I had the ability to pledge and help one of my favorite artists. Keep bringing color to the world ;)
Just wonderful. As always.
Brilliant lyrics/video visuals on the state of our delusional seeking of external stimulus for our perceived 'happiness'.... Born 'innocent' and bombarded with endless societal programming,, it's our impulse to 'escape' via any means from an often 'cruel world'. Self awareness is inspired here to grasp the hypocrisy of such a world and seek 'inner sanctum'.
You are genius.... I am speachless after looking at this masterpiece, shaken by the depth of the combination between images, lyrics and sound. I haven't regreted once that I have tattoo'd IAMX on my hand since I have first seen you in Bucharest. I grow even more proud of it with every passing day. You take the word artist to a whole new level . All my love for IAMX, Robert !
love their universe, and what a voice!!!
Великолепно!!!
Chris corner still amazes me, very underrated talent both in Sneaker Pimps and Iamx! I am finally checking the newer stuff out! This is sooo good!!!
Chris, not only are you a brilliant musician and composer, you manage to be a consistently poignant lyricist void of redundancy. Beautiful work. Truly. Cannot wait to hear the new album. See you in Oct xo
Just beautiful, Chris and Janine look beautiful and I really love the happiness monster with the glowing mouth. I also have to add the woman doing the silks has an amazing pike jump, she is great. I feel so many different emotions from this song and I feel very close to this band. I'd follow them any where, lots of love guys Daisy {X}Chains.♥♥♥
