Lifelines for the Trying Times

Game face on
Until the break of dawn
We're gonna vibe
By ourselves
Hope we turn out just as well as our
Peers, our fears
Are greater than growing old
The mirror can't see past the lies I've been told

I'd rather be
Sleeping
Than eating the night away
Spend my nights trying to cry
Trying to hard to stay
Stuck in place
Unable to give chase
How I feel is unimaginable

And maybe I'll see it sometimes
But sometimes I fail to find
The thing that makes me feel me
This dissonance makes things so hard to read

They say that this will take some time
And time is something I'll have to find
My movements happen in double time
My limbs take time to catch up, it's fine

I'd rather be sleeping

These trying times
Are taking their toll
Make me feel twice as old
I know deep down I was never meant for this
Your fears
Manifest in me
Your projections made it so hard to read

The lifelines say this takes time
The trying times are all of the time
The fears, they manifest in me
The fear, it manifests in me

I'd rather be sleeping

Take the time to look ahead
Before the past takes you instead
