You are tryna show yourself up,
You are tryna shy yourself away.
You are tryna heal yourself up,
You are tryna burst loud into tears.
You are tryna fit yourself up in the puzzles unturned,
You are tryna sit somewhere back comfortably numb.
You are tryna outshine everybody,
You are tryna look somewhere out for inspiration.
You are tryna vent it all out,
You are tryna silence it all up.
You're tryna reside somewhere being closer to fantasy,
You are tryna plan your whole life believing in reality.
You are tryna learn it all up,
You are tryna unlearn it all back.
You are tryna explore it all,
You are tryna rest your eyes up.
You are tryna go back home,
You are tryna feel like home wherever you go.
You are tryna believe in yourself for countless of times,
You are tryna give up on yourself end number of times.
You are tryna hold on to things for way too long,
You're tryna leave everything behind for stories untold.
You are tryna grow yourself up,
You are tryna behave immature.
You are tryna get really emotional,
You are tryna get back to being practical.
You are tryna bring it all back to position,
You are tryna screw it all up.
Get it all back to your senses O honey, for you can't lead your entire life listening to every other voice that comes to your mind.
