Sweet Escape from Black Sea by Sonia Elisheva

I don't wanna read the news today
I don't wanna scroll my life away
Be miserable like all the trolls
Political, cynical, so alone
When my head becomes a mess
I find peace at discotheques

Don't know how I always end up
So far down the rabbit hole
Maybe I'm a cat if I fall I land on my tippy toes
So what if they like me?
So what if they don't?
So what if they like you?
So what if they don't?

In a sea of bitter hate
Dancing is my sweet escape
Other people overthink
I don't think no I just sing

This is not the Sonia show
I only speak on what I know
But I can spot a cunning crook
I'm smarter than I look

I got a degree in philosophy
They say what a waste of time
I say let me give you mine

I bet you think you're big
Virtue signalling online
I think you're just a sheep
Maybe you should go outside
So what if they like me?
So what if they don't?
So what if they like you?
So what if they don't?

In a sea of bitter hate
Dancing is my sweet escape
Other people overthink
I don't think no I just sing

Seven years old got a pocket full of Jaffa cakes
I make friends with ladybugs
There's a war outside
So I distract my mind
I put on a song
Sing till I can't hear the bombs
That's just how I am so
Mind your honey bees wax!!

In a sea of bitter hate
Dancing is my sweet escape
Other people overthink
I don't think no I just sing

Used to dream I'd change the world
Realistically I can't
But I could learn a dance
Or make my mother laugh
And maybe
Just maybe
That's enough
