Lyrics

Three steps forward
Two steps back
I regress in regret
And second-guess every flirty text
To shatter bad habits is a tricky thing
You're scared you'll lose the good ones in the shattering
I'm over overthinking
Yet I am still sinking into my spiral
I wanna put all my worries on trial
And ask them why they keep me from a good good life
My mind is like quicksand
I've sunk in self-loathing again
Feeling so distant
When there's a Better Me I'm missing
While I'm stuck in this quicksand
Ego's trippin'
Over commitment
Haunted by visions
Of my bad decisions
I don't trust myself
Why would anyone else
I didn't sign up for this
War for self-worthiness keeping me low
Oh I'm gonna grow better
Swear I'm gonna grow better
My mind may be quicksand
But I'm sick of self-loathing again
Feeling so distant
But the Better Me is listening
"Stop fighting this quicksand
You're worthy of loving my friend
You're living and learning
You'll find who you're yearning for
Oh let go and I know
You'll slip out of your quicksand."
