Fall Away
[Intro]
Writing lyrics to forget how I feel
Anxiety's high and on the build
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
Writing lyrics to forget how I feel
Anxiety's high and on the build
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
I keep writing my life

[Verse 1]
Pressure of making a song stick
Label's don't care they're not even offering
Team unaware I'm sinking it don't swim
High tides here I'm hoping it don't win
I've been lonely in the storm
Friendship shakes I'm holding out for the cause
Basic strength I know I'm weaker than norm
Tracing steps to see when I'm on the floor
No one hears when you lie
No one sees when you cry
I've been feeling my vice
I've been feeding this loneliness but feeling hunger inside
Food for thought's lame when you're starving for truth but your lies are to blame
Trying to find what I'm saying
Trying to hide all the pain
[Hook]
Writing lyrics to forget how I feel
Anxiety's high and on the build
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
Writing lyrics to forget how I feel
Anxiety's high and on the build
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
I keep writing my

[Verse 2]
My little sister asked me if I'm her dad
I said no
I asked why
She said well
In school, they spoke about love and what a dad does
They come to school plays, care when you're sick
Tie your shoelace, help with homework
Cut your food straight, make you laugh loads
Strong when you ain't
Strong when you ain't
Tears fell when she said it
Helpless cos she meant it
Thinking about her heart and how I work hard just so I can protect it
I'll never lie to her
Invest time to confide in her
Invest time to provide for her
Invest time to provide for ya
[Hook]
Writing lyrics to forget how I feel
Anxiety's high and on the build
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
Writing lyrics to forget how I feel
Anxiety's high and on the build
I keep writing my life I wanna chill
I keep writing my life I wanna chill chill
Yeah uh

[Outro]
If they see me fall away they'll always stay
If they see me fall away they'll always stay
If they see me fall away they'll always stay
If they see me fall away they'll always
