"Joy" lyrics

"Joy"

He put himself here
Just so he could escape
He just can't see here
Just so blinded by hate
On this journey just unable to find
He says "I'm okay" in his mind
He carries on out in this open plane
With a map of who he was in his brain
There's no pretending he's lost himself in his eyes
Hell just be chasing butterflies

"The flashes in my eyes
The colours they move like dancers
I just can't hold on anymore
I won't cry for you
I've lost too much time
Here's the answer
I don't want to know anymore"

People see him as he talks to himself
Scared to greet him putting plans on the shelf
No-one truly gets to know who they are
Growing old makes this seem darker

Sunflower carry me home
I feel joy in my heart but death in these bones
If I feel joy in my heart then why am I alone?

Say that you love me
Say that you do
I just don't think that I could forget you
