This is a song based on a true story about a woman on the west coast who had a disorder that screwed up her entire life. She got some advice that completely turned her around. Part of a 5-song EP released 8/11/15. Go here for complete backstory: http://www.psmag.com/health-and-behavior/toast-story-latest-artisanal-food-craze-72676

Woman walking to her weekly meeting
Sees an old man reading on the way
First they exchange a simple greeting
Soon there’s conversation every day
She tells him all about her issues
Problems with her man, her job, her head
While she talks, she uses lots of tissues
Asked him for advice; the old man said:
Build your own damn house
Make your own little world
Don’t sit around and pout
Don’t let your brain get curled
Don’t let your fears ever win
Don’t whine and don’t grouse
Let the sunshine in
And build your own damn house
You know troubled times can really haunt you
But it can also lead to change
I bet you can shake it if you want to
You can get stronger from your pain
Go on and build your own tomorrow
I hope you celebrate the past
Be happy, turn your back on sorrow
Deal with trouble quick – kick its ass
CHORUS
Individuality, energy, maturity - tools you need to keep you free
Here’s a couple more
Communication, adaptation, common sense and education
Find your own accommodation to keep you off the floor
CHORUS
