We started out alright in life, but people see it as they like,
Relied upon opinionated, educated hype.
Drugs for temporary happiness,
And relief from low self price.
But what can solve more sadness than living glad to be alive
I’ve decided now that I decide,
A chemical imbalance has no strength greater than angelic ties.
You have, eternally, my sisters and brothers,
The chance for such recovery.
A lot of doctors don’t get paid, unless you stay depressed, insane.
So what’s the motivation?
But convenience for an industry kept powerful by misery
And by prescription medication.
I know the message is aggressive,
But it’s your peace that is my passion.
I won’t back down because I know we’re fashioned
Equally.
Persistent, negative perspectives I have overcome,
My pain in mind and spirit by refusing to give up.
Made my diet right, what we digest can oppress us,
It’s possible to flip judgemental theory to suggestion.
Choose creative energy, express your heart, maintain control.
Divinely dismiss whatever insults your own soul.
Let us rise up, we have courage
In us to recognize complete love.
Your heart says, “Let’s go”
But hippocrates have taken oaths
Ensuring you stay Somatose.
There is no burden by my masterpiece of love, complete perfection.
Staining eyes rejecting utopic comprehension.
I’ll never cease to hand a world of faith your direction,
But it’s you who chooses if the image is reflection.
The formation we allow ourselves to shine,
And be our highest should not depend on recommended or medicated
Bias.
Before we knew what happy was,
They taught us how to fake it.
So do I not show you love, or have you refused your right to take it?
Let us rise up, we have courage
In us to recognize complete love.
Your heart says, “Let’s go”
But hippocrates have taken oaths
Ensuring you stay Somatose.
Let descend a dedication to the true of every nation
I condone myself to let you know you’re not alone
They tried to make you feel unreal, in fact it’s your tactics they steal.
So know your highest high, and know your lowest lows
Sent as evidence, ground to sky is how the nature grows.
To show progression, make confections, imperfected sections mention hectic,
Bless this tempest in my head.
I take it straight to meditate and break the cycle,
All the while they try to hide the real you.
So be yourself, be it all.
Move to freely, never fall.
We will not divide the love,
Existence includes us all.
Let us rise up, we have courage
In us to create complete love.
Your heart says, “Let’s go”
But hippocrates have taken oaths
Ensuring you stay Somatose.
