This is what I've become Breathe in slowly, so encompassing I won't be a lost cause Harbouring adverse thoughts almost constantly But optimism is a euphoric allure Instil belief I turn my head up to the sky And I commune with nature Will I ever be the best version of myself? Time changes everything But I won't expire For what it's worth It's over and gone There's no turning back again A great part of my suffering has withered I'm moving closer Closer to inner peace No sadness No pain No remorse Have mercy on me (I'm in control) With every waking moment, I feel (I'm in control) With the thoughts running through my head I dream of reality A vessel built to shine A sudden surge for a need to escape Carry my fears away
