Breathe - Murdock, Goldi Phone Home

Momma never said something so truthful as

Holding me crying saying «This too shall pass»

Words were fuel to put me back on a useful track

Repeat them to myself every brutal attack

The only problem is I feel that I move too fast

Stressin' over how long my youth will last

Now I miss them simple days where I would just pray away and my problems were

all solved at communal mass

As a baby I was baptized, till I capsized, felt that all my life I was living

under fat lies

Now I stay up inside and get mad high, let that childlike mind just pass me

right by

I would wake up every morning, Mom would drive me to school

Classes started getting boring so I would just act a fool

I’d make the whole class laugh, problems then were minuscule

Now I’m waking up hungover in the late afternoon

The problem is this solemn kid couldn’t handle a full blown subconsciousness

And now I feel impoverished and exhausted because the thought of being social

is monstrous

Now I’m overly cautious and I just agree

Every single girl is flawless and out of my league

Chained down by being nauseous when I used to be free, but at the end of the

day, I just wanna be me but

Every time I open my mouth and I try to vocalize, I find

My throat begins to close up and I hold all of my feelings inside, my mind

These hungover mornings I lay in my bed and just rewind

Stressing over stupid shit I probably didn’t say last night

Momma never said something so truthful as

Holding me crying saying «This too shall pass»

Words were fuel to put me back on a useful track

Repeat them to myself every brutal attack

Now I’m 23 years old and I’m face to face

With this grown me so I stand and contemplate

Staring in the mirror all day and just debate, now that I’m an adult was it

worth the wait?

I got no clue what I’m doing this generation is losing their goddamn minds when

they graduating from schooling

Examinating my ruins, they asking me how I’m doing

I say I can’t complain, this migraine keeps on pursuing

Tourette’s is on fire, stress has got me in a chokehold

Turning down opportunities just by the boatload

Ditching auditions, positions switching, I’m the joke yo

I got my own ambitions, I don’t want to go broke though

Persona’s in remission, who I was when I was young

He has been laid to rest from always biting his tongue

I repeat these mantras back when I’m feeling high strung

Breathing in to rediscover my voice through my lungs but

Every time I open my mouth and I try to vocalize, I find

My throat begins to close up and I hold all of my feelings inside, my mind

These hungover mornings I lay in my bed and just rewind

Stressing over stupid shit I probably didn’t say last night

The time is now…

I am in control…

Unconditional Love…

Om…

Meditation slips me into my mind it’s all fine

Anxiety declines, full thoughts they align

At peace with myself I feel so divine but why does the me that shine have to be

so confined?

We all have a voice that deserves to be heard

Expectations of oneself can make these words blurred

Ideas differed, dismissed as absurd, thinking everyone hates you no proof,

just inferred

I love my goddamn self, I wanna shout it from the rooftops

Give back to my community and bring from the boondocks

Have us come together, no more drama with the blue cops

The only thing shooting through the night is the moonrocks

So blast your boombox cause I’ve got so much to say

I’ve got albums to drop and mistakes to make

I’ve got hearts to break and I’ve got love to give

I guess what I’m saying is I just gotta live and I’m gonna

Cause this too shall pass

But until then…

Every time I open my mouth and I try to vocalize, I find

My throat begins to close up and I hold all of my feelings inside, my mind

These hungover mornings I lay in my bed and just rewind

Stressing over stupid shit I didn’t even say last night
