For Your Sake

I'd bet you'd do well with an actual break

One without travel or balancing time

I don't mean a beach trip, make no mistake

You need to get out or else risk your mind

Get away from work and all that it takes

Don't let your heart poison in the city grime

The stresses of life are a tough thing to shake

And getting to truth is a mountain to climb

And everything round you is an earthquake

I've got these lines, the assortment of rhyme

But what have you got to handle your aches?

The truth is deeper than medicinal slime

So I think it's time you become awake

To the fact these pressures are horrible crimes

Your head spins 'cause it don't know real from fake

So there's no use for clinging to pretending you're fine

That lie a window that's way too opaque

So consider this cry a genuine sign

Your life is for you to reach out and take

From work, machines, and puppeteer swine

Just promise me when you get it back that you hold it tight for your sake
