Why is it so hard to find?
Exactly what you're looking for, all of the time?
It's right there, right in your hand
But it's so easy to overlook and misunderstand
I've cut out all my ties, I found a blanket in the lies
I wrap myself all tight, guess I'll keep warm for another night.
Search for yourself, think about your past
What could you have done best?
Who are you, without all your friends?
Do you still stand up, or does that depend?
Will my friends still be there, throughout. life's big bend
Or will I die trying just to lend a helping hand
Electric buzz, right through your ear
Yellow jackets mate, they sting you to tears
If your sick and tired, of being pushed around
Stick it to them, al let them have their crown.
Losing myself to pursue something that's not me
I've gotta cut it off, I've got to break free.

O is it always hard to leave somebody
When all you do is care?
And o is it always hard to leave somebody
So they can get somewhere
O
Is it always hard to leave your mind
When there's just one thing keeping you behind
Let go
And feel, stay real
We hope that you know
To let your roots grow
Spread your wings and fly away
Let night fall when you've had your day
Cats cry for your velvet touch
Please drift when you've thought to much
O
You find a lack of space around your kind
So why have you gotten out of line?
You know
To let your hearty roots grow
We hope that you know
To let your roots grow

Oh Insomnia, Go To Sleep

O Insomnia, go to sleep
Quit keeping me wide awake
It's night the sky is dark and blue
There's no one trying to trouble. you
Please remember to just lie still
The day is over and you have had your fill
I might be something else
Another part of yourself
Let go
Leave me be
No your not
Let me sleep
O Insomnia, keep it up
I'll tire myself from this drinking cup
Nature must have a bed for me
In the ferns, that's where I can dream
I'll try to sleep when I grow up
When my gas has finally tanked enough
Please just leave me alone
So that I can get things done
Breathe slow, count and calm down
No one's hurting you
A case of depression
Just fight and push through
There's so much more to you
Than these dark eyes
Everyone has bad nights
Just be alive
Breathe deep, breathe free
Find your place and go to sleep
O Insomnia, go to sleep

O there once was a group of friends
Some torn apart till the bitter end
And apart they were for most their lives
Alike minds breeding alike lies
And so they came and went about their days
Each tearing a page
And when at last they met by circumstance
Once complicit, two ignorant
Mom and Dad bought them everything
But they didn't buy the truth
Lie to my face what can I be
A boundless soul in this dead sea
I've lost my home how can I sleep
When I can't live comfortably
Ganging on an injured soul is how we wish to live
And nothing fills us with greater joy than to take, and steal and forgive
There were flowers and there were river beds
Where this home once had much to give
But these friends weren't like to go away
As they brought their pests in the bright of the day
I became at my wits end
And though it was a farce I would try to make amends
But my sanity got lost again
And I could not pretend that these were my friends.
Lie to my face what can I be
A boundless soul in this dead sea
I've lost my home how can I sleep
When I can't live comfortably
Ganging on an injured soul is how we wish to live
And nothing fills us with greater joy than to take, and steal and forgive

East Setting Sun

All Dotty's life where's her gaze been drifting to?
An island of doubt, an island of truth?
An escapists facade she's tethered to her own way
Trusting no one apart from the fray
Living alone has always been her own choice
Independence fosters lasting growth
But what's she to do when all that growth feels stunted
She needs a friend to pull her when she drags
But it's hard putting faith in others
For problems that they've never had
Friends have let her down so many times before
No one blames her, she's been through a lot
At first she tried to value all things
But times get tough, ideals stop being bought
What's left of her when narcissism wins out
No pleasures just a hollow shell
At least she'll always have her little island
Always backwards seems pretty swell.
And the sun is setting in the east
And finally Dotty is at peace.
