lyrics

I see you struggling, I see you’re stressed and
You try to hide your suffering, but I’m your best friend
I see the hurt and disappointment in your joylessness
Swallowing your anger and your sadness, and it’s poisonous

And every morning you rise to fight your battle again
You try to focus on the good or else the bad will get in
But there is help, there’s a fix for every problem known
I hope you know that there is hope in this, you’re not alone

You feel it all around yourself
When your thoughts pour and spill like your mind has floored the throttle
Take the little orange pills that you find in orange bottles
You know it's yours and no one else
When the cues to flight still come noon and night and awful
Take the blue and white pills in the blue and white bottles

You feel the thought of learning again, it's all around
All along, near, above and underground
You're tired of all the things you did, you'll work it out
You truly belong here with us among the clouds

Now isn’t that better? It’s like a teething ring
Now you can function, but you no longer feel a thing
Delete your spark so you can start to let the rest in
Like you won the worst badge attached it with the best pin

When you’re in the clouds, imagine that it’s heaven
As your AJ6 enables Code Force Seven
Take solace, you got this, I gotta fight a battle too
I gotta go, but I promise, Lo, I’ll come back for you

You feel it all around yourself
When your thoughts pour and spill like your mind has floored the throttle
Take the little orange pills that you find in orange bottles
You know it's yours and no one else
When the cues to flight still come noon and night and awful
Take the blue and white pills in the blue and white bottles

You feel the thought of learning again, it's all around
All along, near, above and underground
You're tired of all the things you did, you'll work it out
You truly belong here with us among the clouds

We won’t be goners, this won’t destroy us
We would be honored if you would join us
The time you’ve squandered has left you voiceless
We would be honored if you would join us

Life is stronger, no longer pointless
We would be honored if you would join us
Time for the Bacta, no more avoidance
We would be honored if you would join us
