[Verse 1: anem0s]

Could you tell me what it is that I'm missing?

I've been waiting by so long for a mission

What's my problem? Are you checking my condition?

Tell me what's wrong with a little ambition

I've been feeling washed up, what's the rush?

I've been fighting demons and I never keep in touch

I've been talking to my thoughts, tryna think the right stuff

But it's never not enough, life's always getting tough


[Chorus: anem0s]

Thought I'd never see the change, but I'm moving away

Empty nesters back home

Know I got a lot to say, but I'm stuck in my head

Blocking out all my problems

Started thinking I was better off staying in bed (Aw, man)

And if the world behaved, I'd be better off now than I was yеsterday

It's okay to take a break if you need to

Don't shy away from thе people who believe you


[Verse 2: anem0s]

So I'm watching where I step and I'll keep on pushing

And the secrets that I kept, now I know I really shouldn't

So I'll take another breath, I was too focused on my footing

It took all that I had not to fall right into it

Picture this, I'm never sitting 'til I stop

Kept my eyes on the clock, counting seconds 'til I— caught

A glimpse of what I'm seeking, I could never miss the top

If I never ever make it, I can't bear to take the drop


[Verse 3: tigerstar]

Thought I'd never see the change, but I'm moving away

I took a little bit too much of what I really can take

Getting too attached to the buzz I feel when I'm awake

It's only when I sleep enough I can get up to make (Something of myself)

You gotta be trying to turn around

You can't be so ready to be turned down

Why are you wanting to rush things to happen now?

I don't really mind if they're making me wait

It's really not as serious as they make it out to be

Closer to home than a different agency

Know I can sound just a little too passionate


[Bridge: tigerstar & anem0s]

I wonder if I'll live up to all you expect from me

Letting them down amplifies the pressure

But I won't let you down, however you measure that


[Chorus: anem0s]

Thought I'd never see the change, but I'm moving away

Empty nesters back home

Know I got a lot to say, but I'm stuck in my head

Blocking out all my problems

Started thinking I was better off staying in bed (Aw, man)

And if the world behaved, I'd be better off now than I was yesterday

It's okay to take a break if you need to

Don't shy away from the people who believe you
