Just because you’ve got a bundle of

Prescription drugs in your draw

Don’t mean your head is hurting

Any more than anyone else.

It’s hard to see

when its all good and its all beautiful

when it’s all purple skies and rainbow sunrises

You can surely understand

how sometimes it feels crazy scary:

too many eyes, too many sounds,

feeling so aware of the stares of all the strangers I’m surrounded by

It’s hard to see when its all good and its all beautiful

orange skies and opal sunrises

But if you ever wanna leave

then come and feel the green

in the leaves on the trees with me

'cos the sea is waving and the air is warm,

and we’ll see daffodils and daisies,

we’ll climb over walls

and there’ll be sunflowers that grow so tall

that they reach the sun

reach the sun .

Imagine running off to a different world

even if only for just one day...

but now

everybody’s hooked in to the sites

addicted to swipes, held up on likes

there’re better ways to spend our time-

mindless scrolling, assholes trolling,

networks gain control on that shit.

We get so far sucked in

that we cant let go

and we can’t get out.

It’s hard to see

when its all good and its all beautiful

candy floss skies and fire sunsets.
