About remnants of beauty that we cling to, even in the darkest spaces...

VERSE 1
So maybe I’ll write down a list of all the things I love.
Pull it out of my back pocket when I feel like giving up. 
Hey, welcome to planet earth.
Nothing makes sense here,
And we’re never good enough. 
But here we are.
And on we go. 

CHORUS
Invent me a time
Where all is but peace of mind.
Searching for a distraction.
Forbid my faculties to action.

VERSE 2
I’ll take my pick-me-ups any way I can.
Because here’s the Master Plan as far as I can understand:
As much as we’re able, and as long as we can,
We’ve gotta keep holding on.
And since peace of mind is hard to find
In the midst of these dizzying, trying times
Which we oft come to know as Daily Life…

CHORUS

VERSE 3
You’re beautiful. Sunshine burning in your eyes.
Even when you cry. Red and raw and compromised.
Down, but not out. Beautiful without a doubt.
That cryptic lens dances in flickering lights. 
Shining fantasies cross a mirrored screen
Wouldn’t I like to see inside.
Shrouded in your mystery carnival ride.

CHORUS

VERSE 4
Subdue your fears. Dry your tears. 
The world is beautiful.
You can’t begin to know. Mind, body, soul,
We love, we laugh, we grow. The world is beautiful.
You can’t begin to know, you can’t begin to know.
Until you can.
And then you do.

BRIDGE
You will be okay.
I insist to you this day.
Leave your house of shattered glass
Stuck in a carnival display
That fills you only with dismay.
You’ll live.
And all is one.
