I don't know if what I'm doing is right
I feel my feet touch the floor but my mind takes flight
And far away from my periphery a dim room taunts me
It haunts me
I'm runnin' like a vagrant but my path's gone aloft
While stars drift enough apart to give way to muddy clouds
That obscure the shot I'm tryna get
Showin' scenery I shouldn't resent
While i still do
Still, soaring and floating, they differ not much
When the destination is yet another pool
You gotta touch down and brave the sea to swim through
It's not enough to tie a noose and question if you'll ever move
Not enough to simply let that shrapnel fill my head
With the kinda shit I wish I would've said
While every missed moment rains down
From a cloud made-up of
Everything I know I could've been

It isn't the drug you have to worry about
It's yourself
You have to discipline your hindbrain
You have to be able to say
Listen, shut up
We're gonna come through this
Just shut up about it
Because it's saying
But don't you think we should call somebody

So now I notice that years have gone by
But never stacked up to the perfect image that i kept inside
Still the sum of all the parts of each and every place I've stayed in
Paint a picture of that state of mind I am so often craving
When the shadow of my doubt undoubtedly returns
It's all old news
Yeah man I heard it before
All the talk he got don't catch my eye anymore
So I drop my gaze until I see deep beneath the floorboards
Still never satisfied when things do click
I got a beat I think could work but haven't touched it in a minute
It just falls to the dirt, never knowing if it's finished
While I do not pay no mind I'm kinda banking off its presence
For so long I'll sit and stare, mind wanders
Wait for bursts of inspiration that'll take me further
Talking to myself I clear my throat to clearly state
One day I'll work so hard I'll die just standing in the same place

It isn't the drug you have to worry about
It's yourself
You have to discipline your hindbrain
You have to be able to say
Listen, shut up
We're gonna come through this
Just shut up about it
Because it's saying
But don't you think we should call somebody
We shouldn't treat it with such levity
Because it is a serious issue
I mean I've been in many circumstances where
Vital signs seem to have fallen so low
In my own perception
That I just was saying to myself
Keep breathing, keep looking
Keep breathing, keep looking
And I felt, you know, that
We- I was in a submarine five and a half miles down
Easy does it through here
Breath, attention
Breath, attention
Because you have the feeling
That if you don't keep your attention on your breath
You will simply stop breathing
