Caught in between
a conflict of interest
and I don't want to play
so I'll sleep it away.
And if you need to find me
I'll be tucked in the woods
there's no use in searching
it'll do you no good.
Something inside of my head makes me feel this
but I don't know where to begin.
It's nothing that nobody said to provoke this
it's something that is sprouted within.
Trust me when I say it's not you but it's me
and that you shouldn't take it personally.
So do you think I'm crazy
when I say solitude's what I need?
When I feel the pull
of this opposition
I'd rather keep it null
than let it weigh on my soul.
So if you need to find me
I'll be off on my own.
Far away from this tension
scribing words in the stone.
Only in the peace of solitude
can you hear the words of your deepest voice.
And only in undivided awareness
can you see the image of the minds eye.
Only in the sole company of yourself
can you decipher your hearts intent.
Only in solitude.
Only in solitude.
Something inside of my head makes me feel this
but I don't know where to begin.
It's nothing that nobody said to provoke this
it's something that is sprouted within.
Trust me when I say it's not you but it's me
and that you shouldn't take it personally.
So do you think I'm crazy
when I say solitude's what I need?
