You know it's alright to be different,
It's alright to feel a little blue
Sometimes it's comfortable being sad.

But that's no excuse to turn oranges into orange juice.

Don't lose yourself in that empire state of mind and always know you can shine as bright as a diamond.

Turn your face towards the sun, and let the shadows be behind you.

I know that it's hard, losing yourself is and always will be your kryptonite but find yourself in the shape of you.

Because you're more than some endless spiraling darkness.

You are more than just some person that does other people's bidding, and you definitely know your ABCs.

It's alright to lose somebody that you used to know. People change and grow, and so will you.

Dont sell yourself short, dont fall into that nicotine, and definitely allow yourself to be apart of the greatest show.

Sometimes other people's misery is none of your business, because you have your own demons to battle with.

So sometimes it's better to say bye bye bye.

It's alright, you're alright.

You're irreplaceable, and you have to care for yourself before anything else.

You are your house, your comfort, and your peace, as long as you make it be like that.

There's life and death and love and birth and peace and war on this planet earth.

You dont need to make a war in yourself as well.

Just take a deep breath and all's well. Or maybe it wont be, but at least you're calm.

At least you're bulletproof.

So,
You know it's alright to be different,
It's alright to feel a little blue
Sometimes it's comfortable being sad.

But that's no excuse to turn oranges into orange juice.

Don't lose yourself in that empire state of mind and always know you can shine as bright as a diamond.
