Brushfire

Local Spins on WYCE wsg Silver Creek Revival (5/24/24)

Overwhelming World

Lyin’ in bed but I’m wide awake
Dreading my day-to-day
Plagued by a question I just can’t shake
What’s the point anyway?

In this overwhelming world of complications
I’ve been giving in to giving up the fight
I’m drowning in a sea of expectations
Pretending that everything’s alright

I hate that I’m not what I hoped to be
I hate that I hoped at all
I hate that I’m not what you think you see
I guess that I fooled us all

In this overwhelming world of complications
I’ve been giving in to giving up the fight
I’m avoiding necessary conversations
Hoping that I’m hiding in plain sight

It’s a world that I’m not ready for 
A place I’m out of place 
And inside me rages a tug of war 
And a question that I must face

In this overwhelming world of complications
Have I given in to giving up the fight?
Defeated by my endless limitations
And a restless mind that keeps me up at night

Lyin’ in bed but I’m wide awake
Dreading my day today
Tryin’ to muster the strength it takes
To carry on anyway
