Not the Car

There is a knot inside my tummy
There is a pain in my old head
When I think about my problems
Or that mean thing someone said
As I stare at that white ceiling
All my worries overpower me
I feel so insignificant
While my monsters devour me

I try to calm myself
By remembering what I know
I look deep inside of me
To my quiet place I go

There's something I forget from time to time
Love will conquer fear and make me whole
I am not the car, I am the passenger
I am not the body but the soul

I feel bleary-eyed and tired
There's a pain inside my gut
My physique is out of order
By I can't tell you what
While I wallow in discomfort
And hope and pray to get better
I feel my happiness slip away
To reveal a mood that's bitter

I try to calm myself
By remembering what I know
I look deep inside of me
To my quiet place I go

There's something I forget from time to time
Love will conquer fear and make me whole
I am not the car, I am the passenger
I am not the body but the soul
