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
