Don’t think you’re less if you’re happy hanging with your breath
This life is not a test to see how many best
Friends you make in a day
You’re no less striking if you’ve taken a liking
To solitude, stop fighting, you don’t have to abide
To society’s way
If you’re happy in your head
than solitude is blessed and
being alone becomes ok
It’s only lonely when you tell yourself
You’re the only one
Who feels that way
Give respect to silence
Ya no man is an island
But that doesn’t mean we’re all the same
And it doesn’t mean that we’re not connected
Or that we aren’t affected
By the things that you say
But you might just be missing out
On what life’s all about
When you try and keep the loneliness at bay
You can find power
In each flower
But you don’t know the strength of the bouquet
Until you’ve become acquainted with the quiet
Until you’ve explored the highest
Form of your decay
It is only then, that you’ve strengthened
And toughened enough those rough edges
For the the loneliness to go away.

If you’re happy in your head

It’s only lonely when you tell yourself
You’re the only one

Give respect to silence
Ya no man is an island
But that doesn’t mean we’re all the same
And it doesn’t mean that we’re not connected

Until you’ve become acquainted with the quiet
Until you’ve explored the highest
Form of your decay
It is only then, that you’ve strengthened
And toughened enough those rough edges
For the the loneliness to go away.
