Punch Self to Feel Alive

Expectation is crushing me
I've done nothing that's worth noting
But daydreaming of what love's like
And all the ways I waste my life
I can't be who anyone wants me to be anymore
I'm chasing a feeling I can't remember feeling
I don't feel anything
As days leak through my colander brain
I look back on these groundhog nights and I cannot see a thing
I'm struggling to find the light
Continuing to waste my life
I can't be who anyone needs me to be anymore
I'm chasing a feeling I can't remember feeling
I don't feel anything

Short Changed

The years that never seem to go, in hindsight, somehow pass like seconds in my mind
And then there's you, ever changing
I never thought I'd change my tune half much as I do for you
Do you know how to be for the days that bookend the few hours we spend together?
Do you see my hands shake or do you keep it quiet out of kindness?
Do you know?
If we accept what we think we deserve, I now know why I often feel short changed
Let's take this one day at a time
I'm trying to feel like I feel fine

Can't Win. Don't Try.

Fake it 'til you make it has always worked for me
I'm confident and not being drowned by my anxiety
I'm pretending
If I could make my mind up, it'd be a dream
I'm grown, but still preoccupied with all the things that I could be
I need mending
I'm thinking at 23, there's no way to stop these fortnightly crises
So I'll let myself be defined by trying to be as kind as I can be in how much time's been given me
I remember at 18 you said "Jack, I always thought you'd leave."
So are you disappointed to see me on days I can't get out of bed?
When my eyes can't focus past the walls my head puts in the way
This is old paint under new
This is how I'll stay
I'm thinking at 23, there's no way to stop these fortnightly crises
So I'll let myself be defined by trying to be as kind as I can be in how much time's been given me
The rest, we'll have to wait and see
