1. BRAINSTORM

How do I know if I’m awake
Restless days and nights
I’m tired but I can’t sleep

I think I’m drowning
Don’t know up from down
Not sure if I can reach the surface in time
I pour everything into what I have
It’s all or nothing in my mind
“If this fails I can’t see a lifeline”

Is it all in my head?
They whisper
Never good enough
They follow me
I can’t breathe
It feels like the ground will open
But I won’t run
I’ll stand my ground
I will climb these steps one by one
I believe we will overcome
A leap of faith is a small price to pay

It was said
That fortune favors the bold
If it’s true
Why am I surrounded by all this doubt?
Their faces have become one
I can’t tell them apart
Is it all in my head?
They whisper
Never good enough
They follow me
I can’t breathe
It feels like the ground will open
But I won’t run

I will stand my ground
I will climb these steps one by one
I believe we will overcome
A leap of faith is a small price to pay

Is it all in my head?
They whisper
Never good enough
They follow me
I can’t breathe
It feels like the ground will open
But I won’t run.
