Just Breathe Video (MV)

Honestly, I'm overloaded
& often overwhelmed
Hoping nobody can tell
I just say I'm doing well

Cause for a minute
My life seemed figured out
But now I've begun to doubt
I know what anything's about

My emotions, they're like a well beyond control
& my Cancer moon is rising so I feel that on the whole
I'm such a sensitive soul, seekin' out some time alone
Authentic self exposed, tell my secrets in a poem

My deepest fear, is that I'll never be enough
That even if I rock a stage I'm still not worthy of love's touch
So juxtaposed cause introverted while at home
But on my phone, I'll share myself with people I don't even know

I'm tryin' to grow
Been surfin' highs and lows
It's just the way life goes
I get lost up in my head till I listen to these flows

You got everything you need just breath
It's okay to be exactly where you be
And on the nights that you forget that you're a star
It's ok to be exactly where you are

You got everything you need just breath
It's okay to be exactly where you be
And on the nights that you forget that you're a star
It's ok to be exactly where you are

My brain's inside a bottle
Feeling so shaken up
Can't contain my point of breaking

My heart so wants to open
Fearing pain keeps me shut
Can you see my nightmares waking?

Lately, I've been waking up
With thoughts too sharp to touch
I've been half-convinced I'll never make the cut
Stuck in this rut

A nauseous feeling settles in my gut traveling up
I'm worried that I'll never rise above what keeps me stuck

But listen
Below the anguish, our emotions are a language
Like a demon in my mind that over time I've learned to dance with
Now I'm taking back my bandwidth
Cause my job is not to vanquish
Just to sit still and stand-in

Such a sensitive place
But a risk I've gotta take
If I'm ever gonna make
Art that people can relate to
Gotta slowly open into my grief
What a relief

Trusting in the lessons my resistance has to teach
I start to breathe
And release

You've got everything you need just breath
It's okay to be exactly where you be
And on the nights that you forget that you're a star
It's ok to be exactly where you are

You've got everything you need just breath
It's okay to be exactly where you be
And on the nights that you forget that you're a star
It's ok to be exactly where you are

Since this is heaven, what can we do?
Sit in reflection, trust in the view
Stress has its lessons, each day anew
Awaken dimensions inside of you

You've got everything you need just breath
It's okay to be exactly where you be
And on the nights that you forget that you're a star
It's ok to be exactly where you are

You've got everything you need just breath
It's okay to be exactly where you be
And on the nights that you forget that you're a star
It's ok to be exactly where you are

I hope that I can be this way around other people all the time
Do you really think that's possible?
To be so raw
Like, out in the world down there?
Is that what we're going for here?
Is that the f*cking quest?

That's the quest.
