As I open the door of my malibu
Immediately I wonder where I’ll travel to
Keys already in the ignition
Take me somewhere far–I’m wishing
Oh how the wind blows
I’m alive
But I can barely feel my toes
Let us climb the highest mountain
Let us swim in the ocean
Taste the wildest berries
Bust the craziest dance moves
Please don’t judge and disapprove
I want to run away
Well–not really
Loved ones would probably go all willy nilly
I crave freedom
Free my mind
No more thinking
I said STOP
It stops
It stops when the frog hops
It stops when I sit in the woods and the raindrops I’m not in my
head when I choose to be free in the real world But I am too
busy inside my head with my construction workers Building
my dreamworld
Let’s go to a different country
Or perhaps a different state
It could alter my state
Of mind..
I’m tired of feeling blind
I can see perfectly fine
Inside my head of course
Reality check
I’m sitting by my desk
Awaiting my next assignment
Remember to wear your mask
Tic-toc tic-toc
I wanna be in shock
I want excitement
Perhaps I change my major
Ugh! been there done that
I live in my head when reality appears dull
It is entertaining inside
But also the scariest
Wish it could be all of the merriest
The repetitive cycle of life
Anyone got a knife?
You know for getting through the wildlife
I’ll need it when I’m in the woods
Getting away from real life
Seriously though
I want to chase the wind
Blow me into the sweet nothings Possibly
somewhere with a beautiful sight I’m not
even afraid of a bite
Place me anywhere
I don’t care
Anyways,
I’m in the middle of nowhere
Surrounded by violence
Hatred
Ignorance
Opinion
Don’t forget to
Get a job
Get a degree
What the hell do you want from me!!??
I’ll see you all later
Back inside my head, I’m a decorator
I paint the walls green
Nope, bright pink
And nothing stinks
Because inside here
I am me
Inside here
I don’t have to volunteer
No more forcing words out of my peer
Back inside my head
I pretend
I highly recommend!
