I don't want no Alice in Wonderland
I don't want to live that way
I don't want an eternal realm
Of excess today
I don't want to cave into the misery
Of self-medication and intoxication
I don't want to cut myself and bleed black
Preaching a message of self-deprivation
What I want is the comfort
And assurance that when I wake up
In the morning, it'll all be okay
And today will be a good day
I don't want to be the reason people are afraid
To pursue that connection I'm willing to make
There's people like me out in this world
Who die and let die for the life we live today
I don't search for saccharine, nor fake happiness
But a legitimate sense of joy
For happiness is a happening, take note of this
Happiness, unlike joy, is just a cheap toy
Joyful are the vagaries that I want
I know they are two worlds apart
I want to be at peace, though
And to be healed from the heart
