THING A DAY - I'm Gonna Be O.K. (LAN'ded)

--- this was written for Christian in LAN'ded. I've been toying with the idea of doing a flashback of Christian back in New Hampshire. Packing up today I was able to throw this together whilst getting my luggage together. It plays like Mark-Cohen-does-"Lost-In-The-Wilderness" in my head. When I get together with Derek to go over music we'll see what happens. Anyway, here you go: A New TAD.

CHRISTIAN:
Walking through this empty dorm nothing seems to stick.
The past 4 years gone down in flames, the smell still makes me sick.
I don't know these people, what they're about. Who are they?
They laugh me off without a care cause I don't know what to say...

I've made it this far.

So I've gotta get out.
I've gotta fly.
Away from these fratboys or else I may die.
Gotta disconnect and re-apply myself to a place where I know.
I'm picking up, I'm letting go.
Just like Link, a sword and a bow.
I could fail, but I gotta try.
It's no use living a lie.

Way out there where the wild things are,
where you wish on a star,
somewhere far, far away.
I'm going out there far across the beyond
to the only place where I go to say
"I'm gonna be O.K."
I'm gonna be O.K.
I think I might be O.K...
