Inland Empire from Toad Road by Jane Difool

Sometime we become to wrapped up in others
Dependent upon their approval and wither
inside should they withold it
I’m gonna spend most of my time in
my peacefull established inland empire
daydreaming without a word
I like to be self contained
in my own world far far away
from my own wreckt of a life

Then the road to healing
Will be the long one
And I gotta do this on my own
Gonna find the dragon
Who lay inside of me
Forgive him in comisery

It’s easy to set yourself aside when you
Love someone more than your life
but it’s not a healty way of caring
company was my way of running
away from the weight of my destiny
I need to work on myself
breaking a life long pattern of playing
the loyal compagnion to other
supressing my own need

Then the road to healing
Will be the long one
And I gotta do this on my own
Gonna find the dragon
Who lay inside of me
Forgive him in comisery

I will get rid of self doubt and need
For external validation
And put myself on top of the shelf
I will fortify my spirit and body
To allow my true self not someone else
Image of me
To flourish
Oh to flourish
As me
As I want to be

Then the road to healing
Will be the long one
And I gotta do this on my own
Gonna find the dragon
Who lay inside of me
Forgive him in comisery

Cause he who fight for too long
against dragons
became a dragon himself
and if you gaze for too long
into the abyss
The abyss will gaze into you

Then the road to healing
Will be the long one
And I gotta do this on my own
And I gotta do this on my own
