Grey Skies Lyrics

Caught between my worst and my best

My brain can't resist all the stress

It's hard to believe how all this connects

You're right if you guessed that I'm way too obsessed

With the way that I'm reacting to the fear in my life

No REM cycles when I'm sleeping every night

Got strung up in a rhythm I religiously recite

I'm convinced that I might take my mental illness lightly

Holding on to thorns just isn't healthy

Like, can anyone help me?

I've been losing patience even though I got it together

But do I got it together?

Oh, I hate the way that I'm still amazed

At everything that hurts me still

Wish I could turn around emotions at will

But lately I've been taking every loss alone

And that taught me the most

Out here, it's either kill or be killed

You gotta turn around emotions at will

So maybe I will

Can't stay stuck where life doesn't grow

Can't be in rooms where doors never close

My hearts gonna break if it's faking on the low

I'd rather stay cold, either that or go ghost

I remember when my happiness was effortless to strike

Full REM cycles when I'd slumber every night

Yet, every rhythm led me to a fall out or a fight

It was clear that I might take my mental illness lightly

Holding on to thorns just isn't healthy

Like, can anyone help me?

I've been losing patience even though I got it together

But do I got it together?

Oh, I hate the way that I'm still amazed

At everything that hurts me still

Wish I could turn around emotions at will

But lately I've been taking every loss alone

And that taught me the most

Out here, it's either kill or be killed

You gotta turn around emotions at will

So maybe I will
