about

Just because someone else wants you to live your life for them doesn't mean you have to.

lyrics

Clear sailing sun on the rise
Not a care or cloud on the horizon
Drawn deep from the well of serenity
Nothing feels as good as this
Then it comes in like a subtle breeze
Allergens in the air that make you sneeze
Paradise has become a timeshare
Something here has gone amiss

Just someone's mind working on something to find
To throw you off your balance and leave you behind
Chewing on the gristle of their free-floating anxiety
It's a cut that's most unkind

Build from the ground up something to call your own
Always someone waiting there on the sidelines
Never happy with the choice your making
It's a story old as time
You can latch on to their energy
Let it dash you from the floor to the ceiling
Or let if pass through and dissipate
Don't let it take your peace of mind

Don't give up don't let them stop you
Only you can find your bliss

Just someone's mind working on something to find
To throw you off your balance and leave you behind
Chewing on the gristle of their free-floating anxiety
It's a cut that's most unkind
