On the Inside

In the shadows of the trees
I can't feel even a breeze
Isolated from all humanity
Separated from all society

Different world my head is in
In my own one, I'll let you in

Take a tour
Find who you're
Really looking at

Is it the child
Or the adult
Maybe both at once
One of them hunts
But not for animals
For meaning and happiness
The other one finds sadness
With the course of life
He finds much strife
Put these together
Taken light as a feather
Smooth as leather
And you will see life

Inside the brain oh the things it will hold
Things I've said or you've been told
Not everything there is to hear
Bits and pieces of many a year
The number I've lived is enough to know
How to live and how to grow
What to do and what to say
For what's good and why to pray

In the shadows of the trees
I can't feel even a breeze
Isolated from all humanity
Separated from all society

This is where I may be
Inside the land of me
Where I'm going to live
Where I won't give
Give into the crap of the world
Which makes me want to hurl

Weird eh, coming from me
Should I not always be happy
I may be weird but I'm not that different
People like me are sad after we've sinned

Why write this you may ask
Well I feel it in my heart and my soul
It's in there asking for a way out
And inside for it to leave is a hole

A hole not filled up fully
For someone special to see
And they will be the plug
And they will make me complete

In the shadows of the trees
I can't feel even a breeze
Isolated from all humanity
Separated from all society
