Can you feel the weight of the world?
I have held it all since I was a girl
Try to fight the limits placed upon my lane
Running laps around a track that’s never ending
What if I’m already oversold?
Palms are sweaty drop the gold
I’m already halfway down the street
When I jump the gun I trip over my feet
I’m already done
All-star
Pick up your speed
I’m losing track of time
All-star
Carry me
Out to the lead it’s hard
It’s hard
Written in the undertow
Can’t commit before I know
I have only satisfied your needs
If I could supply anything you please
Would you still outrun me?
All-star
Pick up your speed
I’m losing track of time
All-star
Carry me
Out to the lead it’s hard
It’s hard
Know within
I could still compete with them
But I’m only chasing my shadow
I know it
I know
Can you feel the weight?
Can you feel it?

Track Five

Ask me “is it getting lonely?”
They only see the half of it
So I see myself out
Ask me if I’m feeling pretty
What’s with the relying
On matters of subjection
Water it down for you to see
My strides are not what they used to be
I tread on toes much bigger than mine
I believe this time I’ve got answers you’re trying to find
Ask me “are you feeling guilty?”
What’s the point of lying
When you know I’m projecting
What’s on the other side
Can’t you see that I’m trying
To cross the finish line
Without dropping every ounce of pride in me
Water it down for you to see
My strides are not what they used to be
I tread on toes much bigger than mine
I believe this time I got answers you’re trying to find
What’s on the other side?
What’s on the other side?
What’s on the other side?
I’ve got answers you’re trying to find

Safe Inside (My Skin)
04:26

Take a seat, conversation floats around me
Strung up like deadly heat
The words stick on my skin
I wear it like a summer cold
Staying back, solitude's a frequent caller
Counting living rooms from the kitchen
While they feed off
Opulent advice
I'm safe inside my skin
Why should I leave somewhere I already fit in?
If I have to question if it's wrong
Is it really somewhere I belong?
Listening, never been the one to shy away
She's listing off reasons why it's meant to work this way
I have something to say
But I keep it in
I'm safe inside my skin
Why should I leave somewhere I already fit in?
If I have to question if it's wrong
Is it really somewhere I belong?
Return in the morning
It's still inside my head
Why can't I let this go,
Be grateful instead?
Can I coexist
With feelings of resentment?
Hard to dissolve a sense of privilege
That doesn't really exist
I'm safe inside my skin
Why should I leave somewhere I already fit in?
If I have to question if it's wrong
Is it really somewhere I belong?
Safe Inside (My Skin)
Safe Inside (My Skin)
Safe Inside (My Skin)
Safe Inside

Reverie
03:47
|

|
I’m sleeping with the lights on
Trying to break habits I can’t turn off
Floating
Around these four walls
Grasping on
To anything I can call
My own
It’ll all come catching up to me
Wait until I finally see
It’s not some sort of reverie
Or worse it could be
Driving
Past places I know
Suddenly I’m sentient
I’m sentient of my home
It’ll all come catching up to me
Wait until I finally see
It’s not some sort of reverie
Or worse it could

Somewhere Between

Feel something
It’ll be good for me
Feel nothing
When’ll it finally sink in?
Somewhere between
Out of body and out of my league
Sitting on the edge
Of sensibility
Trying to convince
Myself of everything
If I keep waiting
Will it all come flooding in?
I’m losing it
Prove something
What is it all for?
Good intentions lost
Trying to keep score
Somewhere between
Aspiring and down on my knees
Sitting on the edge
Of sensibility
Trying to convince
Myself of everything
If I keep waiting
Will it all come flooding in?
I’m losing it
If contradiction’s persistent
The only way is coexistence
So I’m holding the weight of it all
I’m waiting
I’m waiting
