Lyrics

These days it just takes more to move me
Always been a cynic but way more than usually
Everybody has those days they feel moody
Times when you just wanna fast forward the movie
These days inspiration comes slim
It's hard to create in this place that I'm in
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
And articulating in ways that aren't grim
These days it feels they don't get it
We narrowly survived a global pandemic
The mental effects of which there's no telling
Family members missing from homes my bros dwell in
These days I don't even feel like me
I got people in ears saying build my niche
I got bags under my eyes 'cause it steals my sleep
Tryna shake off my depression 'fore it kills my dreams
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Days always turn into nights
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves
Battle-battling with waves on days
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Days always turn into nights
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves
Battle-battling with waves on day
These days I wake up and feel drained
I wanna talk but it's so tough to explain
Got texts that I should've replied, it's been days
But when I go to open the page my mind strays
These days I don't mind making them wait
Don't believe in dropping music without something to say
Only speak when it's important, I don't care if it's strange
'Cause a prophet's only purpose is preparing the way
These days I've been kinda hard on myself
Comparison can lock you in the darkest of jails
I know that finding happiness should start with myself
But I just really wish I could've made it last with my girl
So these days I just keep my heart to myself
Been broken so many times I ain't asking for help
Instead of dealing with that pain I'd rather feel something else
I finally understand why people end up harming themselves
If you don't read between the lines you can miss the signs
Razor blade scars on their wrists and thighs
'Cause nobody would listen to their distance cries
A man just took his own life, left his kids behind
Seems like everyone's struggling these days
Whole lotta grief we're covered in these days
I know at times we feel smothered and need space
But you never know what somebody's juggling these days
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Days always turn into nights
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves
Battle-battling with waves on days
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Days always turn into nights
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves
Battle-battling with waves on day
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves
Battle-battling with waves on days
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
Battling with waves on days I can't swim
