[Verse 1]
Everyday that I wake up, I wake up in a nightmare
Everyday that I wake up, I can never see quite clear
When I look at my surroundings and everybody still doubts me
I wanna live to hear a crowd sing all my lyrics so loudly
I miss a time when we would all get together
I guess it's fine, but I really wish that we were better
Real talk, sippin' drinks without all the pressure
Now, everybody needs to think about postin' whatever
When people ask how I'm doin', I've never been better
That's really not a conversation I'm willin' to enter
How come we all continue forcin' out all of this pressure?
I'm just sick of these opinions and all of these lectures
[Chorus]
I need my space now, so, I can feel nothing
I live this nightmare, so, I can be something (Yeah)
I do what I love and hope you will love me (Yo)
I face this nightmare, no, I am not running (Let's go)
[Verse 2]
And I'm scared of bein' rich, but I'm scared of bein' poor
I'm scared of bein' lonely, but I'm scared of bein' bored
Sometimes, I get really angry and I don't know why
Sometimes, I really do hate me, can't even pick my own side, yeah
What is even goin' on? Why the hell do I even write songs?
What the hell am I doing here, man? I guess, I don't understand a thing, damn
Yeah, but maybe ignorance is bliss, yo, I'd rather lay in the abyss
Than be aware of what I missed, especially if I quit
Yeah, they say that hell is your last day
When you see what you could've became
That day would drive me insane, so, I intend on stayin' my lane
Yeah, I picked a path and I picked the pain
Yeah, I want it bad, that won't ever change
Yeah, sometimes, I'm mad, sometimes, I'm okay
Yeah, I know I'll have what I want, someday
[Chorus]
I need my space now, so, I can feel nothing
I live this nightmare, so, I can be something (Yeah)
I do what I love and hope you will love me (Yo)
I face this nightmare, no, I am not running (Let's go)
[Verse 3]
And it's hard to be okay when everything has changed
Yeah, it's hard to be okay when I can see everything
The best part of everyone's day is on my iPhone, on display
No matter what I do, can't get away, this isn't healthy
I don't feel the same, yo, and destiny is a weird thing
Yeah, 'cause it's easier to believe, yeah, that everything
Is out of your hands, it's part of a plan, so, there ain't no need to worry
Uh, don't let your vision be blurry, yeah, lock into your journey
Yo, and you can start real early, you can be thirteen
Or you could be thirty, uh, but it's your life to live, yeah
Yeah, so what you got to give, huh? Uh, you better get after it
Don't you dare quit, don't you dare, kid, you got dreams?
Then you're like me, so, try like me, so, fight, like me
Take a hold of your life and thrive, like me
So, you can put the nightmares to sleep like me
