Words I Say

(álbum: Everything's Fine - 2023)

A softly spoken self-belief denies
Your indulgent want for every prize
Waiting on the wave of validation
If judgment feels just how I think it does
At least I know that I've already won
I've already won

Some things are best kept sacred for no one else
Forgive me for saving it for myself

Will I ever act on the words I say?
Will I ever wake up to see that day?
There's a part of me that don't want to change
But how am I gonna stay high
If I'm a bird that don't wanna fly?

Some things best kept sacred for no one else

I'm going up against the paradigm
The strangest consequence of keeping quiet
Is having everybody think I'm lonesome
How do I reduce it to its core?
It's not my job to keep them wanting more
Heavy is the pressure of it all

Will I ever act on the words I say?
Will I ever wake up to see that day?
There's a part of me that don't want to change
But how am I gonna stay high
If I'm a bird that don't wanna fly?

Will I ever act on the words I say?
Will I ever wake up to see that day?
There's a part of me that don't want to change
But how am I gonna stay high
If I'm a bird that don't wanna fly?
