Inside My Soul
m.a.j Lyrics

Close the door and turn the lights low
Shut out the outside world and create a peaceful, intimate space.

Take a second take life slow
Pause to appreciate life and its simple pleasures.

Listen to the sirens in the night's glow
Be present and attuned to the surrounding sounds.

Insidie my room
All of this takes place in a safe, familiar environment.

Close your eyes and let time stop
Release your worries and just be in the moment.

Unwind and let your mind pop
Relax and let your creativity and imagination flow.

And just smile while the bomb drop
Find joy and positivity even in difficult situations.

I got 4 walls around a 12 foot kingdom
The comfort and happiness I seek can be found in a small and simple space.

It's where my heart's at, it's where I sing from
This place is the source of my true feelings and creative expression.

My land where my fates are smilin,
This is where I feel lucky and hopeful about my future.

Come on in and I'll grant you asylum
I'm happy to share this space with others who appreciate it too.

Posters on the wall anounce a better way
The art and visuals in my room inspire me to strive for a better future.

Pictures on the shelf recall a better day
Nostalgic memories and sentimental items remind me of happier times.

The monster in the closet turned out to be a friend of mine
What once scared me is now familiar and comforting.

So now it's cool we're tight, I mean we're hangin' out like all the time
I have learned to accept and even enjoy my fears and flaws.

Coast to coast I'm known to roam
I have explored and experienced different places and lifestyles.

Renouned mostly for nouns and verbs as I spit sound
My talent and passion is in music and writing.

And my flights of fantasy race round reality
My imagination runs wild, but it is grounded in real life experiences.

Chase down insanity here where I hit ground
I confront and process my innermost thoughts and feelings in this space.

And it's bound to be almost profound to me
This experience is deeply meaningful and significant to me.

To be sound asleep beneath my roof, between my sheets
My home is a place of comfort and rest.

It makes me pause, count blessings, learn lessons
Being in this space allows me to reflect and grow as a person.

Stop stressin' for a second, then I get back to busy streets
This space is a temporary escape from the chaos of the outside world.

Here it is the island where I spent my punishment
This space has been both a refuge and a consequence for me.

Where Boogie monsters boogied
Even my fears and anxieties are given space to express themselves.

Where the wild things came and went
My imagination is celebrated and encouraged in this space.

I spend a thousand million hours in my winter's discontent
This space is where I have grappled with my innermost emotions and struggles.

Staring out at flowers, during April showers
This space reminds me of the beauty and natural cycles of life.

But now the door is mine to open or to close as I see fit
I have control over who enters and what energy is allowed in this space.

A fort for all my treasures walls to things that don't mean shit
This space houses both meaningful and trivial items that hold sentimental value to me.

I elevate my state here when I see my life in pits
This space is where I come to lift my mood and perspective when I am feeling down.

And I've got lip shaped pillows so I'm always being kissed
This space is even filled with comforting and playful physical objects.

We held our secret meetings here
This space has been shared and cherished by close friends.

Belted out the beatings here
This space has been a place of creative expression and musical experimentation.

To get the help to find myself I'm be myself retreating here
This space is where I come to find my true self and recharge.

We speak a secret greeting here so only friends can pass
This space is protected and reserved for close and trusted friends.

A moat to all my troubles and them I'm free at last
This space provides a sense of safety and separation from personal problems and conflicts.

I'm the dj on the tables, I'm the mc on the mic
This space is where I can embrace and showcase my talents and passions.

I'm the guy that rocks the solo and the hand that brings the light
This space allows me to be both independent and guiding for others.

I'm the tears upon my pillow and the frog that sings in spite
This space houses both my most vulnerable emotions and my bravest inner voice.

Because the things that come in here are only things I like
I have complete control over what enters and what energy is allowed in this space.

[Chorus]
Reiterates the concept of finding peace and tranquility in the safety and familiarity of a personal space.
