I’ll often find myself tightening my jaw
It feels as if I’m about to shatter all of my bones
I am so fragile, at least not in denial
Of what I’ve become
A human statue made of glass
It’s been concerning to see
How I can’t take my own advice
And how I haven’t matured
Reacting the same way I did four years ago
I guess you could say that I take things
Too personally
How did I let myself become
Another burden for you to carry?
Tell me I'm irrational
Convinced myself everything’s my fault
I have the biggest urge to swim into the ocean
Let the currents take me
Won’t be in anybody’s way anymore
I swear my insecurities will be the death of me
Take me somewhere I’ve never been
I swear I’m trying to be
A stronger and more confident person
But I have the biggest fear of vulnerability
Remember wen you said,
“the mind is the hardest thing to control”?
Can’t help to think I’m worthless I’m absurd
And a burden for you to carry
Tell me I’m irrational
Convinced myself everything’s my fucking fault
I have the biggest urge to swim into the ocean
Let the currents take me
Won’t be in anybody’s way anymore
I swear my insecurities will be the death of me
Take me somewhere I’ve never been
I have the biggest urge to swim into the ocean
Let the currents kill me
Won’t be in anybody’s way anymore
I swear my insecurities will be the death of me
Take me somewhere
Take me somewhere
Take me somewhere I’ve never been
I’ve never been

I never knew 19 would swallow me
Tell me the guidelines of what it takes to be free
Negative four degrees
My hands reminding me
“you’ll survive this, you’ll be happy”
Remember when
remember when
Patience stood by my side
Her eyes, her eyes tell a story
But does she know that I’m losing balance?
And I can’t feel my body
Her colors begin to fade
My canvas a display
another cigarette
Her name engraved in my lungs
Why bother justifying the things that I’ve done wrong?
Tell me that I won’t always be broken
That the flowers that I’ve chosen will teach me
Something new
something new
patience stood by my side
Her eyes, her eyes tell a story
But does she know that I’m losing balance?
And I can’t feel my body
Her colors begin to fade
My canvas a display
Numb, chokehold, detached from all I know
(show me, show me inside. Her mind, her mind is calling)

Life's a Joke

Is everyone around me becoming an adult
or are they just pretending?
They sure play the role well,
will they live long enough to tell
stories of a black and gray maze
Begging on their knees for a raise
Nothing's ever promised, nothing's ever
I don't wanna be part of the program
You'll find me resigning it all
I won't live to become jaded
Cause live's a joke
And the real world is overrated
And I find comfort in knowing that we're all going to die,
there's no higher meaning to this life.
Let's laugh at ourselves,
chain smoking out your apartment window
talking about how
everyone's such a let down, everyone's such a
everyone's such a let down, everyone's such a
I don't wanna be part of the program
You'll find me resigning it all
I won't live to become jaded
Cause live's a joke
And the real world is overrated

Blurred Vision

I'm always dreaming of city lights I've yet to meet
And the reflection of light on wet concrete has always been so welcoming to me
Someday I'll be far away, I can't live and die this way
Jealousy igniting me like it did years ago
I'd like to say I've grown, but I don't have shit to show
I want to bring myself down cause its all I've known
I haven't become the person I promised my younger self I'd be by now
But someday I'll be far away, I can't live and die this way
Remember when my face hit the ground
My bloodshot eyes were staring up at the clouds
Silhouettes fracturing my chest (you told me to let go)
Done holding myself back, forget everything I know
Running in circles, my favorite direction
Re-frame and break this cycle another story of things that I can't handle
I lost it all in the passenger seat, choking on my breath
Human emotion and blurred vision,
It aches my stomach to even think of
Someday I'll be far away, I can't live and die this way
Remember when my face hit the ground
My bloodshot eyes were staring up at the clouds
Silhouettes fracturing my chest (you told me to let go)
Done holding myself back, forget everything I know
Remember when my face hit the ground
My bloodshot eyes were staring up at the clouds
Silhouettes fracturing my chest (nothing left to lose)
Done holding myself back, forget everything I know
Precious moments in my life, always play in slow motion in my head
precious moments in my life, always play in slow motion in my head
but deep inside, I know I'll be greatness
yeah I'll be greatness oh
deep inside i know i'll be greatness yeah
I'll be greatness
find peace in the chaos
