Psychedelic Sheep

Verse 1
Well, I’m the odd one out, the one who never fit their mold,
The story they retell each year like it’s tradition to uphold.
They packed their bags of judgment and walked right out my life,
And suddenly the quiet came — a soft, surprising kind of light.
Chorus
’Cause loving from a distance is a blessing people miss,
It’s like sending them a postcard saying, “Truly, all is well with this.”
I’m living on an island where my boundaries run deep,
Breathing peace and freedom — signed, the once‑forgotten sheep.
Verse 2
No more tiptoeing around them like I’m walking broken glass,
No more dodging all the tantrums that would hit me hard and fast.
I used to brace for impact every time the phone would ring,
Now the only sound I hear is the quiet that peace brings.
Chorus
Yeah, loving from afar is an art folks rarely see,
It’s caring with some distance so your heart can stay at ease.
I’m sitting in the sunshine while they argue, while they sleep,
Living life on my own terms — your friendly neighborhood sheep.
Bridge
Maybe someday they’ll grow up, or maybe they’ll stay the same,
But either way, I’ve found my rhythm, and I’m done with that old game.
I’ll wish them well from over here, but I’m guarding all my peace,
’Cause drama’s overrated, and calm is such a feast.
Final Chorus
So here’s to loving from afar, the healthiest retreat,
A boundary‑built vacation that truly can’t be beat.
I’m standing in my colors while the world counts sheep —
And honey, I’m just living… finally steady, finally free.
