Don't Believe a Word That I Say (Bonus)

about

This song contrasts the spiritual conflict between the acts of partaking in what I don't want to do, and not participating in what I should. The lyrics elaborate upon the continuing struggle of maintaining control that I'm not meant to have, and how damaging the act of clinging to it can be.

lyrics

I'm running
For something
Completely terrifying
And I'm trying to make it my own
But I'm hoping
For something
That only time can show me
So why can't my head let it go?

I Just want a little peace in my mind
But the more that I learn, the harder I try
‘Hit the ground from the nest
And I'm still alive
But I'm failing the test
I'm living a lie

So

Don't believe a word that I say
Im only learning and I'm full of mistakes
My brain is jumping all out of place
Oh why am I
Holding on to what's in the way?

I wonder
Why comfort
Is something I seek after
When there's so much I'll never know
I try to push further
And get stronger
But every thought gets harder and harder
So why can't I just let it go?

Don't believe a word that I say
Im only learning and I'm full of mistakes
My brain is jumping all out of place
Oh why am I
Holding on to what's in the way?

I'm tired of needing
Something to fill me
Tired of seeking
Something that kills me
I'm tired of wishing for something more
When I know it's only going to make me want a little more

‘Said I’m

I'm tired of needing
Something to fill me
Tired of seeking
Something that kills me
I'm tired of wishing for something more
When I know it's only going to make me want a little more

So

Don't believe a word that I say
Im only learning and I'm full of mistakes
My brain is jumping all out of place
Oh why am I
Holding on to what's in the way?

I’m holding on to what’s in the way

I’m holding on to what’s in the way
