Quixotic

There is this girl, she likes to think that things can change
Up in her head, great passion follow those who claim
Kindness's not a weakness, you must brazen up to give love away

Caring so much debases you in earthly ways
That's what they said when she gave up a lavish grey life for
A shrinking light that felt just like a star from the sky

She just strives for motive, excitement, for all that's alive
But it keeps her up at night

She won't be stolid
Her mind needs the torrid
I know dreams aren't solid
But her mind's quixotic

Earth is so vast, it's hard to notice simple tasks
And that's a trait that she portrays when at her best
Pictures inside her mind where she lays in wonder all night

Once in a while, she goes outside into the wild
Carries her notebook in case she stumbles on a fantastic
And hallowed sight, and finds out what's been missing inside

She just strives for motive, excitement, for all that's alive
But it keeps her up at night

She won't be stolid
Her mind needs the torrid
I know dreams aren't solid
But her mind's quixotic
