your son, the misfit

You see here kid
You just gotta go for it
Don't think about what comes after or what came before
You just gotta bend your knees, take a deep breath and jump
And you might think, "What If I fall?"
Well, what if you don't!
What if you fly?

I know I'm great
I can make it magical and peculiar
That's why I call it strange alchemy
This is why I choose to breathe
This is why I choose to breathe

But I'm tired of not knowing if today's work will get me anywhere
And I'm tired of dealing with family that refuse to understand why I'm this way
Yeah, I'm tired of working just to make some money without feeling good about it
Who's fault is it that i'm this way?
I'm tired, so tired
But I gotta keep moving
It's all in my head

I'll visit the land of self-doubt
And sail to the sea of my insecurities
Hike the mountain of anxiety
Overthinking is my cup of tea
I quit my last job, because of my mental health

My mind is a bottle that I keep containing
With unrealistic thoughts
The more they keep poking
I twist the cap open
The quiet young boy you stopped talking to when you found better friends
Has finally got your attention
Love it or hate it, you're gonna know what you missed out on
Love it or hate it, you're gonna know what you missed out on

And I'm tired of always questioning whether or not I'm doing the right thing
Yeah, I'm tired of obsessing over things that in the end they don't matter
And I'm tired of something great but being afraid to show it
Yeah, I'm tired
So tired
But I gotta keep moving
It's all in my head
