LYRICS FOR "INNER PEACE"

[Verse 1]
She made her first million, she wants one more
If she made her first billion she’d still count score
That’s the nature of the game the celling becomes the floor
What was once passion, starts feeling a chore
She was once the trophy, now he treats her like a whore
Their amazing matrimony has turned into a bore
So they turn to quick-fixes wanting happiness galore
But truth is they never had happiness before
Very few do and that’s the real secret
And those who find it never seem to be able to keep it
Some seek it at the bottom of bottles but never reach it
Others try holiday homes on private beaches
Dreamers visualise in lines of acceptance speeches
Self-help says it’s all about avoiding the defeatist
Maybe it’s not about finding at all but seeking…
Transcending circumstance; perceiving life’s meaning

[Chorus]
Outside its picture perfect but I’m dying inside
I know there’s more to life than massaging my pride
They say “more money-money more money-money more”
I followed their advice to see how high I can climb
Till I found myself stuck there losing my mind
Its not funny-funny not funny-funny no!

[Verse 2]
I’ve climbed up this ladder, too high to retreat
Undisputed champ, too hard to defeat
But I’m still insecure, stuck chasing losing sleep
Perhaps its cause I know my current success is not for keeps
I’ve never had a day where I had nothing to eat
Never had to make myself at home in the streets
And I’ve worked very hard to become part of the elite
But there’s still something missing; true inner peace
And how many coins can buy the truly priceless
How much technology can inspire the lifeless
They say we’re in the era where AI will do away with human error
Well that’s a grave indictment
Commercial chemicals are meant to get my senses heightened
No thanks, I’d rather have my senses enlightened
Superficially seen this lacks in excitement
The alternative? Get old and wonder where my life went
Everything is subject to time nothing is immune to it
The seed dies, a tree is born this much is intuitive
And all things get spent no matter how lucrative
But relax take a breather - inner in peace in you exists

[Chorus]
Outside its picture perfect but I’m dying inside
I know there’s more to life than massaging my pride
They say “more money-money more money-money more”
I followed their advice to see how high I can climb
Till I found myself stuck there losing my mind
Its not funny-funny not funny-funny no!
