Can’t get together what the Gods can divide,
even a passionate poem has no such might,
travellin’ on the four winds and sailin’
the seven seas,
but the one thing I can’t forget still
accompagnies me,
tryin’ to let go, tryin’ to get ashore,
it drags me down this eddy in my mind,
butterflies have wings
to escape sorrow and pain
but what do you do when all
caterpillars are dead.

Same old cure for same old disease,   (2x)
Same old pills for same old pain 
Didn’t know how I got there,
didn’t know how to leave,
Hotel California, there’s no release.
Oh, these commitments were taking over me,
with every promise I made,
I threw away another key,
but still I’m missing the ties that bind me,
the roots of a family, it’s all biology,
the skies are all empty, the horizon undersea,
drowning my view, so I can’t see
