Trouble In Paradise

There's trouble in paradise She notices a perturbation down below It is there, lying in the darkness The subconscious drives that disrupts her logical flow It happens so slowly And it advances so fast Before she knows it, she's there Desperate, she prays it won't last Her brain has been hijacked Her bodies out of control Oblivious, confused There presides beast she didn't know It’s not the monster in her dreams It’s not the one under her bed It’s the fear she won't acknowledge The fact, it’s all in her head When you accept the drives You diminish their hold You regain your sanity A strong self-esteem is a wonderful thing to behold The reality, there is no paradise There's no Cinderella story come true There's only perception of self Work on this, and all your dreams will come to you
