I've been trying to change, but I'm comfortable in complacency
Old habits deep engrained, but I'm desperate to let go.
I've been trying to grow, but I'm so at home in the undertow.
Am I too far gone, or might this current let go?
The past couple years, I've watched myself choke on all the words my worried mind refused to share.
The past couple years, I've felt myself trip on every opportunity too promising.
How I've learned to tread... in the shallow end of regret.
Have I finally had enough?
I've been trying to change, but I'm comfortable in complacency
Old habits deep engrained, but I'm desperate to let go.
I've been trying to grow, but I'm so at home in the undertow.
Am I too far gone, or might this current let go?
The past couple months, I've been chased by fever dreams, dark visions of a woefully unaccomplished me.
The past couple months, I've been tortured by these thoughts, too hopeful ripe and promising to be left to rot.
Could it be I can still overcome?
I've been trying to change, but I'm comfortable in complacency
Old habits deep engrained, but I'm desperate to let go.
I've been trying to grow, but I'm so at home in the undertow.
Am I too far gone, or might this current let go?
