Peace of Mind
Tempers Lyrics

I'm looking down, a red and brown, flower carpet
Observing the ground beneath me covered in a colorful array of flowers

This peace of mind, this peace of mind, is overrated
Unimpressed with the idea of achieving a sense of tranquility

My hand's a bird, my hand's a tree, my hand's an earthquake
Feeling a wide range of emotions and sensations through my hands

Turning off the light, trees make shadows on the wall
Noticing the patterns created by shadow and light

My hands a moon, my hands a hole, my hands a cave
My hands have taken on various identities based on their surroundings

This peace of mind, I'm having now, is overrated
Still not satisfied with the current state of mental well-being

I saw the loss inside a lie
Realizing that falsehoods can cause harm and emotional distress

I saw the loss in modern man
Recognizing that society as a whole is struggling to find meaning and purpose

I saw a plastic son of man
Noticing that people are losing their sense of individuality and becoming more artificial

I'll set them all straight again
Determined to help others rediscover their true selves and find peace

Lying in the bath, it's half past three in the morning
Relaxing in the tub late at night

This time alone, this time I know, is overrated
Feeling that spending time alone is not as satisfying as it is made out to be

My hand's a wave, my hand's a tide, my hand's a flood
My hands are now associated with the power and unpredictability of water

Picking up the light, water makes shadows on the wall
Noticing the unique shapes created by light and water in motion

My hand's a sky, my hand's a bridge, my hand's a home
My hands have taken on a new set of identities based on my surroundings and emotions

This time alone, I'm feeling now, starting over
Using my time of solitude as a way to reset and begin anew
