it's the middle of a mess
it's crazier than nuts
a world gone berserk
peace and tranquility glow in the mind
while rockets and war rage out the door
people say goodbye
withdraw their care
strangers send their love
offer their support
what was up, is down
the inside roars in claustrophobic breakdown
torn from sleep
a soul awakes
wondering where to find oasis
To pour out a heart
to let it flow, and splutter
oh, such joy that would be
such relief to let the pressure hit the roof
and the floor melt in tears
yet my role is to show strength
i am the pillar of calm
i release doubt in jokes and cupcakes
i walk my silent monologues
as herds of sheep graze
and timeless bedouin whistle for order
i speed up as i see distant trees
and slow down as i see homefront approach
this hot month of hotter days
and all i want is you, my friend
it's crazier than nuts
a world gone berserk
peace and tranquility glow in the mind
while rockets and war rage out the door
people say goodbye
withdraw their care
strangers send their love
offer their support
what was up, is down
the inside roars in claustrophobic breakdown
torn from sleep
a soul awakes
wondering where to find oasis
To pour out a heart
to let it flow, and splutter
oh, such joy that would be
such relief to let the pressure hit the roof
and the floor melt in tears
yet my role is to show strength
i am the pillar of calm
i release doubt in jokes and cupcakes
i walk my silent monologues
as herds of sheep graze
and timeless bedouin whistle for order
i speed up as i see distant trees
and slow down as i see homefront approach
this hot month of hotter days
and all i want is you, my friend
