I've been feeling like I'm falling apart
I've been feeling like I shot for the stars
There's so much room to grow
But the moon cast its shadow down on us
We made the fire, gather round, promise
Everything is gonna be okay
We're going there don't be afraid

So you know how like when you're falling asleep
And your mind's kinda drifting here and there
And just randomly you think of something you did when you were ten of eleven
And you're like "fuck!"
I hope no one remembers that
Yeah that keeps me up
Thoughts and prayers for the ones who can't sleep
My brothers and sisters around the globe
Marijuana and melatonin for every insomniac that I know
Yeah, I hope it helps and I overslept
And I know a mess when I see one
At least my eyes are a nice shade of blue I guess
Resentment rarely leads to redemption
Not the worst, but never see imperfections
Heavy fog in each direction
Made me look twice when they teach the lesson
Keep deflecting, pay the toll, make peace with blessings
Ain't reachin' heaven, need to cease the stressing
College dropout but he's professin'
He wasn't strong enough, a weak confession
Cut me, I bleed depression, decompression
To ensure that I flow like he's Progressive
This is self-expression
And the treasure is where my chest is

Everything is gon' be okay
Everything gon' be okay
I hope I'm right
I hope I'm right
I hope I'm right

I've been feeling like I'm falling apart
I've been feeling like I shot for the stars
There's so much room to grow
But the moon cast its shadow down on us
We made the fire, gather round, promise
Everything is gonna be okay
We're going there don't be afraid

So what you want from me?
Another home run?
Like I got the bases loaded
And I'm pointing like a shotgun
All the faces frozen, like I just popped one
And now there's spaces open
And I swear to God I'm not done
Get your popcorn, 'bout to pop off
Like a bottle top spun
Knock, knock, bitch, I'm the one who walks tall
While you wannabes talk hard
I told you I'm gonna be a rock star
Catch me surfin' over cop cars
More bars than a jail cell
Call the bail bonds, wish me farewell
Cause I'm long gone, I done set sail
In the deep sea and I won't fail
Chasing sweet dreams, away from nightmares, cause
They used to shade me, drive me crazy
Like I'm racing on the highway blazing eighty miles easy
Reaching for the metal
Lead me from the Devil
But teach me from this level
I must learn how not to burn
When the fire churns, in the trials
I will swerve
I will smile at the curves, I'll go higher than the birds
Spread to the words, through your nerves to give courage
Through the worst, when you feel like you could burst
Like a thirst, got a hunger for more

Everything is gon' be okay
Everything gon' be okay
I hope I'm right
I hope I'm right
I hope I'm right

I've been feeling like I'm falling apart
I've been feeling like I shot for the stars
There's so much room to grow
But the moon cast its shadow down on us
We made the fire, gather round, promise
Everything is gonna be okay
We're going there don't be afraid
