Peace

Oh, we want to live life at a higher register When we fall an octave too low This piece cannot end on a sour note So we try embellishments as ways to cope In case there's no encore after the show Before the curtains close We're breaking for more serotonin Left almost no stone unturned and We spend so much time rummaging through the shadows Prone to prattle We ignore the light that makes them possible Without the darker times then we'd never know That the brighter times are something special So essential, so hard to get to, oh I've said my piece so Good Lord please grant me peace And sweep together pieces I left trailing behind me While trying to find me, oh I've lost too many pieces of me in search of peace Man, I've lost way too much In search of peace Out of touch, was so numb In search of peace Won't succumb to the gun In search of peace Overcome and then some There were so many times when I've missed out on the sunlight In search of peace What I want is the Sun What I want is the Sun I've slipped into so many personas To become a someone Hoping one fit me more than me I've dressed as libertine, dressed as a crook Believe me when I say neither were good looks I just needed something to cover the scars And each time I'd shed those skins away I'd lose a piece of my own and grow more Incomplete, incomplete I've lost too many pieces of me in search of peace Man, I've lost way too much In search of peace Out of touch, was so numb In search of peace Won't succumb to the gun In search of peace Overcome and then some There were so many times when I've missed out on the sunlight In search of peace What I want is the Sun What I want is the Sun Darkness distorted my mind, twisted and altered my sight Made me believe my days were night, now I know what I was trying to find All along was right behind the wool he pulled over my eyes Over my eyes, over my eyes, yeah, yeah I can see, I can see Pieces of peace surrounding me I can see, latent peace Inside of me
