"What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor and more unashamed conversation"
lyrics
Learning the lesson
This lasting obsession, it chases me
Nothing is certain
We pull back the curtain impatiently
Feeling so nervous
I’m scratching the surface for all to see
Opposed to the voices
That question these choices you made for me
Tortured and shaken
This path that we’ve taken is destiny
Rise, are we even alive?
Because I’m thinking
If we struggle to breathe, do we survive?
Ever terrified
Judging by the word of your tongue
A paranoia so deceiving
That you sleep with a gun
Tell me the downside
To the flip side of our pride
Push it to the limit
Till we trigger the landslide
Unattainable
Do we try to cover the lies
If every clear and uncontaminated part of us dies?
Words left unspoken
I say to myself every time I leave
No turning back
One with the air, please remember me.
Rise, are we even alive?
Because I’m thinking
If we struggle to breathe, do we survive?
Ever terrified
Judging by the word of your tongue
A paranoia so deceiving
That you sleep with a gun
Tell me the downside
To the flip side of our pride
Push it to the limit
Till we trigger the landslide
Unattainable
Do we try to cover the lies
If every clear and uncontaminated part of us dies?
Do you, want to
Sink to the depths I do?
Caught in, a state
Of mind you can’t undo
No self control
Or God to look up to
Caught in, a state
Of mind you can’t undo
Do you, want to
Sink to the depths I do?
Do you, want to
Sink to the depths I do?
Are we living a lie?
Because I’m thinking
That it’s easy to believe in the signs
With closed eyes
Do we even survive?
When every clear and uncontaminated
Part of us dies?
Are we even alive?
Are we sick to death?
Are we dead?
Are we going to rise?
