Hanging By A Thread

Maybe I’ve been wasting time…

Hazy nights, but I’m still alive

Come take a dive inside my head

⸻

Maybe I’ve been wasting time

My state of mind been hazy, but I stay alive

Come take a dive inside my head

Feeling down but never out, I’m hanging by a thread

I wake up lost, but not yet dead

Yeah, I’m hanging by a thread

Down bad, still holding breath

Yeah, I’m hanging by a thread

⸻

My life feel like an empty tub of ice cream

Never what I pictured when I was sixteen

Every morning wake up full of aspiration

By the time I fall asleep, it’s disintegrating

Who I wanna be is always rearranging

Motivation fragile, never really staying

I pace the room, don’t know what I’m chasing

Asking if the dreams I want are worth the racing

Pressure on my spine, hope it don’t crack

Foundation shaky, might need a new map

Maybe it’s time I change my location

Same damn thoughts, different rotation

⸻

So I waste a couple hours here

And a couple more right there

Been doing this for years

Feeling like nobody cares

But I’m still here, still breathing

Even when it’s hard to see it

⸻

Maybe I’ve been wasting time

My state of mind been hazy, but I stay alive

Come take a dive inside my head

Feeling down but never out, I’m hanging by a thread

3AM, wide awake again

Can’t escape the place I’ve been

Down bad, still holding breath

Yeah, I’m hanging by a thread

⸻

Damn, what is wrong with me?

I’m stuck inside my head, can’t fall asleep

Too tired to move, too bored to dream

Wasted too much just waiting to be

Friends say I’m gifted, family proud

But I’m stuck in the silence between too loud

Fear got a grip when I try to create

Scared they’ll trample everything I make

Life ain’t inflation, time don’t grow

Every day spent is a day I owe

Highs and lows, yeah, they come and go

So I buckle up, try taking it slow

⸻

I got a problem with myself, yeah, I know

But I bet I’ll be better tomorrow

Done letting the sorrow decide

I’m still here, so I guess I’ll try

⸻

Maybe I’ve been wasting time

But I’m still alive, so I’ll be fine

Come take a dive inside my head

Feeling down but never out, I’m hanging by a thread

Yeah, I’m hanging by a thread

But I ain’t letting go just yet
