Intro (Faye Valentine):
Good morning, me! Did you sleep well?
Did you wake up feeling good?
You’re still me, but you’re a newer version

I.
Who am I?
Who do I serve?
Who am I to say there are things that I deserve? Why do I speak as if I am above the curve?
Why do I get upset when these words stay unheard?

What does it all matter?
Why do I pretend that I matter?
Why do I romanticize pathetic ambitions of reaching for the skies In hopes that each of you remembers me beyond my demise?

I used to say in old songs: “music gave life” Now I feel the opposite of that
Searching for the perfect terms to say or write
As if you would listen or remotely consider to change your mind

Am I to keep this hate and pride as a way of life? (Nahhh) All to unsolicitedly patronize? (Nope)
I'm asking myself, what good will it bring
When I ain't happy with the person that I turned out to be? Yeah...

Hook:
Breathe in, breathe out
Exit the real world, better leave doubts
You gotta save yourself first before you become a savior Concede to the reality that you are full of failures too

Reach in, reach out
Enter the dream world, best believe now Your beliefs are all mirrors and smoke
If you can't dream of a better tomorrow with all the reasons for hope
 
I tell ya

II.
Couldn't sleep again
Got you overthinkin' all the shit you reassess Faltering conditions of long-running friendships
Forcibly sustained will fulminate to soul-crushing endings

Destined to live a life of loneliness
When the going gets rough, I've no regrets Understand isolation has its holiness
To exist and be nonexistent is ceremonious

27 years old, never been more unpresumptuous As you learn more from your inner oculus
You'd be surprised of things you didn't know about the self None of which were really obvious, so

Anyone who's full of himself
Prolly truly doesn't understand a thing about himself They submit to the authority of their own emotions
And refuse to clean after the mess they've set in motion so...

Hook:
Breathe in, breathe out
Exit the real world, better leave doubts
You gotta save yourself first before you become a savior Concede to the reality that you are full of failures too

Reach in, reach out
Enter the dream world, best believe now Your beliefs are all mirrors and smoke
If you can't dream of a better tomorrow with all the reasons for hope I tell ya

Bridge:
It's been lonely as hell
You take a dive in the depths of your emotional health Being surrounded made you feel more alone in despair Maybe you should've gotten out while the going was well

You almost catch death, running out of breath Cigarettes turn your lungs thin
 
You're feeling too old underneath that young skin Why give the flowers while they can still smell them?
When instead, you can save them all and make a whole garden, yeah

Hook:
Breathe in, breathe out
Exit the real world, better leave doubts
You gotta save yourself first before you become a savior Concede to the reality that you are full of failures too

Reach in, reach out
Enter the dream world, best believe now Your beliefs are all mirrors and smoke
If you can't dream of a better tomorrow with all the reasons for hope I tell ya

Outro:
I'll figure it out, I'll figure it out... I'll figure it out, I'll figure it out...
You'll figure it out, you'll figure it out... You'll figure it out, you'll figure it out...

We'll figure it out, we'll figure it out... We'll figure it out, we'll figure it out... We'll figure it out, we'll figure it out... We'll figure it out, we'll figure it out...
