Alisa writes “The inspiration behind the lyrics for Stolen Days was the feeling of being strongly affected by things out of your control that have the capacity to soak up your time and drain you emotionally. As i was thinking about this more, a character from a film called Max and Mary came to mind....
Come entice me with a good time
Tease me with the light
Open up my eyes
My baby blues need rosy colored lenses
I gotta mend, rewire my defenses
Hit me with a static shock
Don’t wanna watch the ticking clock
And waste away these stolen days inside an everlasting haze
Come entice me with a good time
Tease me with the light
Open up my eyes
I wouldn’t mind feeling more alive
A golden state of mind
You know I’m on the inside looking out
The flowers bloom and die so soon
I’m feeling sick with doubt
No such thing will guarantee
No promises or remedy say
All of my tomorrows will be better than all my yesterdays
Come entice me with a good time
Tease me with the light
Open up my eyes
I wouldn’t mind feeling more alive
A golden state of mind
Maybe you might
Get me outta my mind
Say it’s alright
To face the world outside
Lately my nights
Pull me deeper inside
But maybe you might
Get me outta my mind
Come entice me with a good time
Tease me with the light
Open up my eyes
I wouldn’t mind feeling more alive
A golden state of mind
