[Intro]
[(ambient synths, distant vocal echoes)]
At my worst…
I do my best…
[Verse 1]
At my worst, do my best
Maybe I just need some rest
Take a breath, clear my head
Too obsessed with what Fear said
I come here to vent, don’t mean disrespect
Just got a lot of weight sitting on my chest
Bank account close to zero again
Trying to smile while I sink within
Suicidal thoughts keep coming back
Fear hit me low and tried to attack
Knew exactly where I’d crack apart
Went straight for my mind and straight for my heart
Everybody says it’ll all work out
But they don’t hear what my head talks about
Every night feels like a war inside
Trying to survive while I’m along for the ride
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m tired…
More tired than I’ve ever been
But somehow…
I keep getting up again
[Chorus]
I’m crashing out… (outtt)
Trying not to let it show
Everybody sees me standing
Nobody sees me letting go
I’m crashing out… (outtt)
Trying to hold what’s left of me
Fear keeps saying this is over
But something keeps believing
[Verse 2]
Want to pop the question but I’m scared to death
Thinking about forever while I hold my breath
Scared I’ll ruin the best thing I’ve found
Even though she’s the one I want around
Scared to stay, scared to leave
Scared of what tomorrow brings
Comfortable sitting all alone
But I don’t wanna grow old scrolling on my phone
I hate myself, then hate that thought
Thank God for everything I’ve got
Living somewhere between those lines
Trying to make sense of my own mind
Vision locked on the light ahead
Trying to believe what hope has said
But Fear keeps screaming from the back
Trying to pull me off the track
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m worn down…
Trying to carry everything
But maybe…
I don’t have to carry it alone
[Chorus]
I’m crashing out… (outtt)
Trying not to let it show
Everybody sees me standing
Nobody sees me letting go
I’m crashing out… (outtt)
Trying to hold what’s left of me
Fear keeps saying this is over
But something keeps believing
[Bridge]
[(everything drops except piano and ambient pad)
Fear says go backwards…
Back to the old EPs
Back to the old spirals
Back to the nights you couldn’t sleep
Back to pushing everybody away
Back to believing every lie
Back to thinking you’re the villain
Back to giving up the fight
[Build]
But I see the light at the end of the tunnel
Vision locked in
Starting to believe again
[Repeat Chorus x2/Finale]
