I been drowning in my thoughts again
Tryna swim but the tide too strong
Smiling wide with a heavy chest
Told the world that I’m holding on
But I don’t wanna fake no more
I need peace like never before
These chains, they tight around my soul
Been praying just to let it go
They see the light, but not the fight in me
Battles I don’t ever let them see
I’m tired of being my own enemy
I just need clarity…
I need clear waters
Where my heart can float
No more carrying what I can’t control
Give me still silence
Let the noise unwind
Let me breathe deep
Let me free my mind…
I’ve been moving with a heavy step
Like the ground don’t love me back
Trust been breaking down in layers
Even mirrors crack
Tell me, do they hear me when I cry?
Do they feel it when I lie—
Sayin’ “I’m fine”?
(But I ain’t fine…)
Tired of wars I can’t explain
Tired of dancing in the rain
I deserve some sun again
I deserve to feel my name
Without fear…
Without shame…
I need clear waters
Where my heart can float
No more carrying what I can’t control
Give me still silence
Let the noise unwind
Let me breathe deep
Let me free my mind…
[Outro – soft, airy adlibs like Tems]
Ooooh, free my mind, yeah yeah
Let me drift where the peace resides
Clear the sky inside…
Let me free my mind…
