I want nothing more than love
I want nothing more than happiness
The two most seemingly simple things in life
are actually the most complicated
Is it really possible to let go?
Can I free myself from my own mind?
Without thoughts though
We're nothing.
I'm constantly racing backward
Trying to recreate the perfection of the past
But once it's gone
It's not real
Life is one big paradox
We all want to create memories
But at the attempt to recreate them, we
deteriorate the present
Maybe we find joy when we don't measure it
against other things
when past experiences and future consequences
don't matter
but who really knows?
I want nothing more than love
I want nothing more than happiness
