Too Busy Searching To Find

In the night while my body slept in my bed, my mind was running through the woods instead

But lately happiness has been the most elusive creature.

There is both courage and tragedy in the unrecognized life.

I am not askin’ you to say words like yes or no Please understand me, I have no place, I’m calling you to go I’m just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don’t know Mama, you’re just on my mind

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.

Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me I got a mouth full of rotten and a heart full of greed Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt Well it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt ... I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt Alright! Well demons pull me side to side again Yeah but I'm scared of sleeping, I hate my friends ... Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me I got a sick shooting pistol and I'm ready to leave

It's been a while since I've been alright. I try to smile but it just don't come off right.

What do you say we pack our things and get out of here. I’ve been saving all my life just to disappear Can I hold you, can I hold you to that.
