riptide

I'm crashing like the waves that used to keep me hoping
 Pulled in riptide, I'm losing sight of my main focus
 I've burnt to ash, tryna keep my flame lit
 Watching my walls cave in
 Promise me I'll make it
 This dissonance it hurts
 Nothing ever seems to work
 Is this esoteric as it seems?
 In another life, I'd have more time
 To do this right, give it my full fight
 Could you give me a sign?
 I need hope, I'm alive
 Is this all asinine?
 'Cause I'm falling under riptide
 ♪
 How do I be myself
 When everyone wants to be someone else?
 We're racing the clock like our times run out
 Is this fate or ever-changing?
 Fiending to catch my breath
 Ripping these feelings right off my chest
 Refract the thought that I did my best
 Suffocating, I can't take it
 This dissonance it hurts
 Nothing ever seems to work
 Is this esoteric as it seems?
 In another life, I'd have more time
 To do this right, give it my full fight
 Could you give me a sign?
 I need hope, I'm alive
 Is this all asinine?
 'Cause I'm falling under riptide
 ♪
 And I know how I know, I get overwhelmed until I'm shaking
 Watching life pass me by as I'm breaking down and overthinking
 This ain't life, it's contrived, need to ground myself and start existing
 'Cause father time is a lie and I know that there is more to living
 ♪
 Oh-oh
 ♪
 Feeling these waves of emotions spout
 I'm choosing to live in the present now
 'Cause I don't wanna be a slave to my doubts
 So let's live for the now, and we'll figure it out, oh-oh
