We Are Unhappy Lyrics

Nothing is better,
nothing is best.
We are unhappy,
we are unblessed.
We are unfound
we are unseen.
Nothing is coming
and nothing is clean.

Earth is it shaking,
and people have fled,
and Lord,
she is taking
the eyes from the dead.
Demonized body,
exorcised mind.
He says, of kindness;
'exchanged in kind'.

Nothing is better,
nothing is best.
We are unhappy,
we are unblessed.

Mind, it is going
and faith is destroyed.
It's emptiness showing;
God's cruelty deployed.
Lovers have left
friends close their eyes
Children bereft,
we all are unwise.

Nothing is better,
nothing is best.
We are
Unhappy,
we are unblessed.

We are unhappy.

Cover art for We Are Unhappy lyrics by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

I wonder if the "Nothing is better, nothing is best" is a reference to Bob Dylan's "Nothing was Delivered".

The song seems to be about a loss of faith due to tribulations. Like, a Job who didn't endure or something.
