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 my 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 do I be myself When everyone wants to be someone else? We're racing the clock like our times run out Is this fate or ever-changing? Fiending to catch my breath Ripping these feelings right off my chest Refract the thought that I did my best 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-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-oh
