about

mental illness/health single #2

ARTWORK by Rheba

i was writing this song last winter, along with "bad days," and yeah, i struggle with mental illness and focus and i'm trying to figure it out,
but this song has been helping express the deeper depths, the apathy, the nothing coming together, the insecure voices louder than the confident ones.

that i can still write these songs, however long they might take, i will never take for granted.

know that if you're feeling so endlessly down, you're not alone & there's a lot of us fighting to feel well in a capitalist society, wishing we could get to our potential, and bring earth's visions to life

lyrics

LYRICS

i hollowed out my mind
so that i could focus
focus focus i cannot focus
focus focus i cannot focus

hello, hello, can you hear me?
call me up and i won't answer
i have nothing left to give
and i feel so much pressure
the weight on my chest is sinking deeper

how low, how low will i be going down this time?
i don't know, all i know is that it's down
down down down
with my hand on my chest i try to feel lighter
but with my thoughts so fast, i just feel heavier

hollow, hollow i'm walking out into the night
hello, hello, you won't even hear me slip away
slip away slip away slip away
you'll be better off without me there
you can finally be a cloud in the air
with the sky so vast, my star so dull,
you'll have your space and i'll just dissapear

hello, hello, does the world feel so much brighter there?
some say i have a big heart but all i see is empty space
what is this need to complicate, isolate, cut off and feel number?
cause i feel so much, i'm overwhelmed, can't handle it,
how do you?

i hollowed out my mind
so that i could focus
focus focus i cannot focus
focus focus i cannot focus

you'll be better off without me there
you can finally be a cloud in the air
with the sky so vast, my star so dull,
you'll have your space and i'll just dissapear
