[Verse 1]

I've been awake/
The past two days/
There's no way I'm sleepin'/
Cuz today I'm dreamin'/
I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin'/
I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin'/
These secrets I'm keepin'/
Got my heart-beat speedin'/
It's speedin', it's speedin'/
It's speedin', it's speedin'/
And I've been, fallin'/
For you, my darlin'/
And I've been callin,/
For you, so often/
It's ringin', it's ringin'/
It's ringin', it's ringin'/
And it rings, don't pick up/
Well fuck you, I give up/
Cuz you know and I know/
You'll miss me when I go/

[Chorus]

And I've been drinking/
Alone, thinking/
I'm over my head/
I'm drowning... I'm sinking/
I'm sinking, I'm sinking/
I'm sinking, I'm sinking/
Over my head/
I'm drowning, I'm sinking/

[Verse 2]

It's so much more than sadness... This shit is depressed/
And I hide behind a smile, thoughts are repressed/
I'm filled with regrets... Yeah/
If only I could step backwards then I could regress/
But I can't... Everything is set in stone/
I'm in bed alone, a feeling that I've never known/
I'm headed home... Living back with my parents/
23 years old dawg, you should be embarrassed/
That's what my pops thinks... Naw, I don't blame him/
Got my degree but ain't a single thing is changing/
It doesn't help that I'm going through a breakup/
And she walks around like everything is going great, FUCK/
Plus I'm dealing with rumors and all this gossip/
By all these fake friends and cowards who love to talk shit/
Without a paddle... Sailing without a boat/
Just faith that the feelin' of hope will keep me afloat/
But for now.../

[Chorus]

I've been drinking/
Alone, thinking/
I'm over my head/
I'm drowning... I'm sinking/
I'm sinking, I'm sinking/
I'm sinking, I'm sinking/
Over my head/
I'm drowning, I'm sinking/

[Talking]

And I remember as a kid the teachers would always ask us... Like what do we wanta be when we grew up. And I'd always say like an astronaut, or a basketball player or some shit.

But I think if they asked me now, I'd answer a little differently. I think I'd say "I wanta be better. And I don't mean just a better artist, I mean a better person. A better man, ya know? A better son, a better brother, a better friend. Lord knows I could be a better boyfriend, ha. I wanta be a better student. I wanta be a better role model. I just wanta be better."

But sometimes the pressure of being better overwhelms you... And you feel stressed like you're drowning. But instead of sinking you need to find a way to swim to the top, and be better... And learn to feel limitless.
