Instrumental: mt eden escape

When I lose self control
I become a flawed soul
Stressed out of my mind
I feel I'm falling behind
Gotta close my eyes and do some meditation
Relaxation is my medication
stop the grinding and rushing around
slow down the pace
get on solid ground
stop buying things that i don’t need
consumerism will only make my wounds bleed

I know what I know cause of Bruce Lee
He taught me to stop wasting profusely
The time that I'm given is a treasure from heaven.
And if I squander it then I'm not really livin.
Be like water and go with the flow
The only things for certain are the things that I don't know.

I learned what I know from mom and grandmother
We all need to listen and feel for one another
Through empathy, we break walls of separation
Love and understanding are key to the generation
Of a world that transcends the boundaries of nations
Where we finally realize we’re all one creation

I learned what I know from Viktor Frankl
No matter what happens, always be thankful.
Viktor lost it all, everyone he loved
But he still had faith in his God above
The Nazis kept him captive, but he maintained mental freedom
And he held onto hope until the Allies beat them.

We think that we need so many things to thrive,
We forget about the miracle of being alive
All we need to be happy is already inside of us.
We need water and air, not alcohol and cannabis
Stop running around and you too will find
That happiness is a state of mind.

Stressed Out
