Riptide
I'm crashing like the
Waves that used to keep me hoping
Pulled in riptide i'm
Losing sight of my main focus
I've burnt to ash
Tryna keep my flame lit
Watching these walls cave in
Promise me i'll make it

This dissonance it hurts
Nothing ever seems to work
Is this esoteric as it seems?

In another life
I'd have more time
To do this right
Give it my full fight
Could you give me a sign?
I need hope i'm alive
Is this all asinine?
Cause i'm falling under
Riptide

How could i be myself?
When everyone wants to be someonе else
We'rе racing the clock like our times run out
Is this fate or everchanging?
I'm fiending to catch my breath
Ripping these feelings right off my chest
Refract the thought that i did my best
I'm suffocating, i can't take it
This dissonance it hurts
Nothing ever seems to work
Is this esoteric as it seems?

In another life
I'd have more time
To do this right
Give it my full fight
Could you give me a sign?
I need hope i'm alive
Is this all asinine?
Cause i'm falling under
Riptide

And i know how i know i get
Overwhelmed until i'm shaking
Watching life pass me by as i'm
Breaking down and overthinking
This ain't life, it's contrived need to
Ground myself and start existing
Cause father time is a lie and i
Know that there is more to living

Oh

Feeling these waves of emotions spout
I'm choosing to live in the present now
Cause i don't wanna be a slave to my doubts
So let's live for the now, and we'll figure it out
Oh
