  • Wakin' up too early, static on the TV
    Dressed in all the clothes I had on
    When yesterday decided I didn't need to fight
    With the hours and the seconds no more

    Doin' all the things that I'm supposed to
    Workin' every day the way that most do
    Smilin' while I'm hidin' what I'm goin' through
    But you know, you know, you know

    That if I'm bein' honest
    I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
    I struggle sleepin' 'cause the house feels haunted
    Filled with the shadows of regret and the things I should've said
    To the ones I laid to rest, and lately
    I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
    Man, growin' old is so excruciating
    Is there a cure for minds unwell? 'Cause my head's a livin' hell
    If I'm honest with myself

    Stumble as I'm leavin', one foot takes the lead, and
    Second seems to struggle to find
    A solitary reason to continue seekin'
    Any use in walkin' this line

    Doin' all the things that I'm supposed to
    Workin' every day the way that most do
    Smilin' while I'm hidin' what I'm goin' through
    But you know, you know, you know

    That if I'm bein' honest
    I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
    I struggle sleepin' 'cause the house feels haunted
    Filled with the shadows of regret and the things I should've said
    To the ones I laid to rest, and lately
    I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
    Man, growin' old is so excruciating
    Is there a cure for minds unwell? 'Cause my head's a livin' hell
    If I'm honest with myself

    So how am I supposed to see an end
    To my all-consuming, constant fear and dread
    When I can't even seem to make it out of bed?

    Yeah, if I'm bein' honest
    I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
    I struggle sleepin' 'cause the house feels haunted
    Filled with the shadows of regret and the things I should've said
    To the ones I laid to rest, and lately
    I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
    Man, growin' old is so excruciating
    Is there a cure for minds unwell? 'Cause my head's a livin' hell
    If I'm honest with myself Writer/s: Benjamin Alexander Kohn, Lewis Capaldi, Michael Pollack, Peter Kelleher, Tom Barnes
