On the Way to Oz by Daphne Mia E. published on 2020-01-08T20:17:31Z Here is the latest song I wrote "On the way to Oz" It deals with how familial and societal pressure contributes to mental health breakdown - and the role of community and empathy into the road of recovery. Enjoy! Lyrics: There are places we’ll never let ourself go And to cope we drink, take drugs, have sex, and scroll Up and down until we numb ourselves so cold, so cold We pretend to enjoy things we don’t care for And to cope we tell the world how much it cost, And we post until we numb ourselves so cold, so cold Then one day, the chasm between our heart And the reality is so wide we can’t breathe Then one day the pain we subject our soul chatters our sanity way too deep Some believe that money will quiet their wounds When in fact it emphasizes their own flaws And to cope they wander aimlessly in virtual reality We keep at it despite red flags and the signs Trick ourselves into contortionning our mind Fool ur friends and hide in plain sight Til we no longer can lie Then one day, the chasm between our heart And the reality is so wide we can’t breathe Then one day the pain we subject our soul chatters our sanity way too deep There’s a way to get back t yourself It’s not easy but You gotta let it go And if you want We can hold each other’s hand On the yellow brick road On our way to Oz And if you want We can hold each other’s hand On the yellow brick road On our way to Oz * "On the Way to Oz" is an original written and copyrighted song. * In this recording I use Cordoba 20TM Tenor Ukulele.
