lyrics

wouldn't you like to be in a world
where the world wouldn't matter at all?
wouldn't you like to climb up so high
and not be so afraid to fall?

wouldn't you like to leave yourself
and abandon the cubicle for good?
wouldn't you like a life with no worry
and the belief that you really could?

chorus:
it's not always necessary
to seek in order to find
sometimes taking things away
leaves you much more defined
and if the eyes take in the sights
and the ego fills the mind
maybe it's better to make yourself
metaphorically blind

wouldn't you like to say goodbye
to all the things that hold you down?
wouldn't you like to find your place
far away from the common ground?

bridge:
all you got to do is decide
from all the viewpoints you see
one of them is most like you
and the rest of them are just debris
so take a short stroll down each one
you need not go very far
and by going through what you're not
then you're left with what you are

chorus:
it's not always necessary
to seek in order to find
sometimes taking things away
leaves you much more defined
and if the eyes take in the sights
and the ego fills the mind
maybe it's better to make yourself
metaphorically blind

about

chris hardy world Edgefield, South Carolina

I write songs myself. I record them all myself. I play all the instruments (including real actual drums) myself. I sound like a band yet I am just one little guy. I do everything myself - the only job you have is to listen and enjoy! Isn't that easy?
