I dream a lot about dying
but I know that I'm not even trying
to make a better life
Feel like I'm paralyzed
Another day in bed
another sleepless night
Maybe I was never meant for this
Maybe I was just a stupid kid
but I never thought it'd come to this
Contemplating if I'm even gonna be missed
How did I let it get this far?
I wish that I had seen it coming from the start
Now I'm longing to be where you are
I'll make another wish upon a shooting star
Wish that I could stop feeling so low down
Wish that I could make a name outside my hometown
Feel like I was meant for more than what I know now
All I know is that I got no time to slow down
I'm so far from where I want to be
No time to celebrate 'cause I know that's not what I need
As the days go by, I'm dwelling on defeat
No time to celebrate until I find what brings me peace
Have you ever felt the weight of the world
pressing down on your shoulders
I'm just getting older
The longer it takes to realize what I'm looking for
eats at the sanity left in my mind
Yeah so everyone's a has-been
They all try but ain't nobody make it happen
Don't want to be another passerby
but surrounded by failures
By now you'd think I'd learn my lesson
Left my phone and my keys back in 2019
Lockdown, I'm writing thoughts
Don't be hitting up me
Fuck a shooting star, ain't got no time for wishing
2020 vision bitch, you know I'm gunning for my mission

Harder Than Ever

Embrace the fire in your heart
Don't be ashamed
And make sure they remember your name
I've never felt so nervous
I've never been so scared
I finally jumped head first
completely unprepared
Is this commonplace?
I was growing sick of the same time and place
I mean honestly
can you really say you're happy?
Embrace the fire in your heart
Don't be ashamed
And make sure they remember your name
Crush every obstacle that's in your way
And make sure they remember your name
Don't spend your time
just passing by
There's more to this life than you realize
When times are tough
you can't give up
You have to push harder than ever

Distance

How long
will it take to realize what we've had all along
We're still young
We've been changing like the seasons but we're standing strong
Through every passing storm
And I don't know how you've been
It's been so hard with this distance
You're always on my thoughts
This vacant spot
you hold inside my chest
And all the while
we've been letting go of doubt
I know by now
we'll make this all work out
We'll take this time apart and
think of where we started
See how far we've come and
never forget of the things that we promised
