Close your eyes and open your mind
I'm going to take you on a journey so that you can unwind
Kick off your shoes and grab a drink of your choice
It's time for the world to hear your voice

No need to worry, no need to fret, just live your life with no regrets
It's you against the world, so grab your pen and paper and let's take a whirl
Let me take you on a journey through this crazy world

I can't tell you how to live your life, or what choices you should and should not make
Whether to be real or fake
I can only tell you about the life I live
So sit back and let us begin

My sweet escape, my home away from home, is not really a home at all
Give me a pen and a piece of paper and watch me travel into a world
A world you could never understand
It's a world that only consists within my hand

I cannot control what's going to happen, I just sit back and watch it go
My hand is the author and the paper the audience
Writing is just something I cannot resist

A state of euphoria is how I'd explain it
If you walked in my shoes, you couldn't blame me
I'm in a world where society cannot tame me

I can be who I want, and say what I want
It's just me, myself and I
It's like I'm on some kind of high

A high that opens your mind and you can sit back and unwind
Not a worry or a care in the world

I'm on such a high that I cannot be touched
All I can do is feel the rush
The rush of life and the world unknown
That only through this pen and paper it can be shown

A high so great that all I can do is smile
I just wish I could bring you into this world for awhile
So you can see the beauty in me
The beauty in the world
The beauty in we

The beauty only brought through this high
Elate yourself and tell your superficial world goodbye

Come, take my hand and walk with me
Open your mind so you can see
The world I live in
A world where you can be free

Close your eyes and open your mind
It's time to sit back and unwind
So I can take you into this world that is mine
