The truth is we are all just
tired.
Tired of feeling used or expired
Tired of not feeling good enough
Tired of not being tough
Tired of all the things they say
Tired of their games and we pray
That it will all
stop
So we can feel back on top
Of the coma we've been in
You see we are sleepwalking
We aren't awake
We are just treading lightly
Until we break
Living on an ivy
That is filling us with more emptiness
We are substituting the
happiness we can't find with
Material objects.
We tell ourselves that alcohol
and drugs
And partying
And all the dismal mediocrity we think
We deserve
Is gonna make us happy again
But it won't
And we try to come back from it
But we don't
We tell ourselves that
we will be happy again
But we try and in vain
And there is happiness just
beyond that pain
we just have to see it
We are blind to it
Because we are suffering
in the moment
And that's why we can't find it
It's there, I promise you
I know we can pull through
All it takes is me and you
Being there for eachother
You and me, sisters and brothers
We could each be a rocket
Flying each other
higher and higher
With kind words and happy smiles
and acceptance and humbleness
Then we won't have to put
our happiness in our pockets
We can let it shine through
Because then we can say
"Screw you!"
To all the things that make us
blue
And insecure and jealous
and anything else but
happy
Because we have what it takes.
See I don't know who says
we aren't perfect
But I am a firm believer that
there is nothing more perfect than being
Who God made you to be
And if you don't believe
Well guess what?
You are still perfect by just being you
And that is what makes us perfect.
And beautiful.
That even through all the
tragedies pandora's box released
into the world
We still hold hope in the bottom of it
We just have to dig it out ourselves
And yeah it will be tough
But at some point we have to say
"Enough is enough".
