Remember to buy yourself flowers
And to smile at the things you don’t know
It’s only children that own super powers
We gain ours helping them grow
Know that love is a blade that can cut you
But it’s hate that will poison your blood
And with time all your truths will come untrue
There are things you don’t know, but you could.
And the voice in your head that keeps talking
Try to tell it to always be kind
The most dangerous place to be walking
Are the mountains inside your own mind
Visit graveyards but never chase ghosts
Let the dead be at peace and chase love
Things once took for granted - are what we’ll miss most
And we’ll find them below and above
There’s a place in our souls that knows solace
It’s the most precious place we can go
Sit by rivers and trees ‘til your soul finally sees
What your heart and your head need to know
And the voice in your head that keeps talking
Try to tell it to always be kind
The most dangerous place to be walking
Are the mountains inside your own mind
So - remember to buy yourself flowers
And to smile at the things you don’t know
Because we’re measured in days, weeks and hours
We don’t stay here for long then we go
Because we’re measured in days, weeks and hours
We don’t stay here for long then we go
