LYRICS:
Morning
It’s hard to wake up
Feeling exhausted dreading what’s to come
The double doors
A vinyl brick road
Walking down this hallway feeling naked and alone
Anxiety
at seventeen it’s everything
You carry the weight of the world some days
Get pushed around
The system’s down
The no names are losing ground
I know you wonder
‘cause I wondered too
I hope you do
You feel that life has let you down
the pressure has you losing count
If you’re getting close to letting go
Will you let me know, will you let me know
Ceiling
closing in fast
Playing back the errors that you made in days past
Shortened breath
Can’t keep your eyes closed
Every moment relived is a needle to the bone
I felt it then
when times are hard
The memories comes flooding in amplified in waves
You can change
Or hide in shame
We evolve all the same
I know you wonder
‘Cause I wondered too
Do things get better
Can you see a way through
I hope you do
I hope you do
You feel that life has let you down
the pressure has you losing count
If you’re getting close to letting go
will you let me know will you let me know
maybe there’s no turning back
the strings of hope are soon to snap
the moment that you lose control
will you let me know, will you let me know
Oh, you’re not alone
the tears that you hide
and fear that you stowed
Oh, you’re not alone
many have come before
many have known
Oh, you’re not alone
the greater the struggles
the greater the growth
Oh
you’re not alone
You feel that life has let you down
the pressure has you losing count
If you’re getting close to letting go
will you let me know, will you let me know
So maybe there’s no turning back
the strings of hope are soon to snap
the moment that you lose control
will you let me know, will you let me know
