It Aint Easy

Madness talks to me just like a hummingbird Soft and sweet, I'm ready to run wild All my life I've tried to fill this hole in me With movies, music, books, conversations But the intrigue grows and the fascination weighs on me To live so free that dying feels like well-earned sleep There's a bigger picture, I just can't adjust my eyes An illusion book I've been working on since I was five It ain't easy To live the life you should It ain't easy To feel misunderstood But I hope you all feel proud Finding balance upside down It ain't easy to just be I'm worried you'll do something you'll regret When I'm not around to fix a drink or calm your head Confusion runs through all of us from time to time Like liquid from the bottle passed from your lips onto mine I've been searching for the answer to an unattainable question I don't know why I thought I'd find it In the bedrooms of strangers and rock and roll Maybe I did? Who gives a shit? It ain't easy To live the life you should It ain't easy To feel misunderstood But I hope you all feel proud Finding balance upside down It ain't easy to just be To just be To just be Somewhere between calm and chaos (to just be) Somewhere between calm and chaos (just be) You'll find peace
