Seclusion

Seclusion

Loneliness isn’t always a bad thing,

You can really work on yourself,

Truth pours in times of introspect,

When you take the time,

TO really get to know the real you,

You can finally be free,

Freedom isn’t always found so easily,

You can be who you really need to be.

Chorus

Now self growth isn’t always this easy process,

Dry those tears,

They gonna keep coming down,

Dust off those insecurities,

Take a couple breaths,

This ain’t just some 12 step process,

It’s going to get ugly,

And you may not want to admit some of your transgressions,

Determine all your defects and coping mechanisms,

This takes time, work, respect, and an open mind,

Time to use tenacity and perseverance.

You can use excuse after excuse,

Using your mental as a crutch,

There is more to you than a diagnosis,

Can’t always hurt those that you love,

For your trauma and delusions,

When so much time has passed in your own head,

You start to lose it,

Make an effort to understand your own music.

Chorus

Now self growth isn’t always this easy process,

Dry those tears,

They gonna keep coming down,

Dust off those insecurities,

Take a couple breaths,

This ain’t just some 12 step process,

It’s going to get ugly,

And you may not want to admit some of your transgressions,

Determine all your defects and coping mechanisms,

This takes time, work, respect, and an open mind,

Time to use tenacity and perseverance.

At the end of the day it’s just you and all those lies and excuses,

It’s time to get up and face the music,

The you of yesterday has passed away,

Buried six feet under,

Pulling yourself from the ashes,

Flames and contusions,

A phoenix in multiple disguises,

All along you knew this,

You were blooming.

Chorus

Now self growth isn’t always this easy process,

Dry those tears,

They gonna keep coming down,

Dust off those insecurities,

Take a couple breaths,

This ain’t just some 12 step process,

It’s going to get ugly,

And you may not want to admit some of your transgressions,

Determine all your defects and coping mechanisms,

This takes time, work, respect, and an open mind.

Time to use tenacity and perseverance.

Can’t always escape to a friends or the bar,

At the end of the day you need to know who you are,

Stuck looking at someone you can’t stand,

Staying in an abusive relationship with yourself because it’s the only thing you know,

Breaking the mirror and smashing it out,

That misconception that you’re always stuck in your old ways,

In this moment you can start fresh,

Even if it’s just the next ten minutes,

This is your life,

Start to lead by example,

Don’t do this for anyone else,

They ain’t stuck in your head.

Chorus

Now self growth isn’t always this easy process,

Dry those tears,

They gonna keep coming down,

Dust off those insecurities,

Take a couple breaths,

This ain’t just some 12 step process,

It’s going to get ugly,

And you may not want to admit some of your transgressions,

Determine all your defects and coping mechanisms,

This takes time, work , respect, and an open mind,

Time to use tenacity and perseverance.

One day you’ll look back and see,

It was worth it.

Seriously
