Voluntary Solitary

You look so lonely
Forced to be your own one and only
No trust for anything that doesn't have paws
Your battered, tattered, shattered heart I'm sure is part of the cause

You tell yourself that you're okay, you're alright
You're happy you say in the day, then cry all night
Prayer after prayer's got you nowhere, it's unfair
God don't seem to care. So, get your ass out that chair

Maybe it is time
To set aside whatever bullshit fear that you're keeping inside
Let it ride
With an open mind, open heart, get those arms opened wide

You sound so helpless
A self-attested stressed-out hot mess
I guess it's fine for those who don't mind the grind
But at best you're distressed that you'll be left behind

You tell the world that you're just fine, you're all good
But sit on the sideline feeling misunderstood
Begging and begging for something to give
Move along, nothing wrong with just trying to live

Maybe it is time
To set aside whatever bullshit fear that you're keeping inside
Let it ride
With an open mind, open eyes, open heart, arms opened wide
Just let go
Of that ego, wave goodbye, then say hello
To all the light
A million candles bright
It only takes a single spark for it to ignite

Maybe it is time
To set aside whatever bullshit fear that you're keeping inside
Let it ride
With an open mind, open eyes, open heart, arms opened wide
Just let go
Of that ego, wave goodbye, then say hello
To all the light
Brighter than a million sticks of dynamite
Inside you just waiting to ignite
