about

Paralyzed by my depression and executive dysfunction, I wrote this song say that it's okay to just lie in bed all day, it's okay to just survive. You are enough as you are.

lyrics

All that we have is this moment
No future or past, just the present
But all I can taste is disaster, waiting to happen

And all that I know is I don't know
How to hang on and just let it go
Find myself surrounded with worries unfounded

I lay paralyzed
While the hours fly by
Is it all right if I just survive?
Don't need to be perfect
But I'll try to be kind
Is it enough just to be alive?

Trying to find meaning in darkness
Getting lost in the process of untangling the mess
Well it's gotta mean something because if it means nothing then that means there's nothing left

I am not broken just scarred
And my scars make me whole, I've learned to love every part
When you think that you're imperfect
And it turns out you're a work of art

I lay paralyzed
While the hours fly by
Is it all right if I just survive?
Don't need to be perfect
But I'll try to be kind
Is it enough just to be alive?

Just to be alive

It's gotta mean something
Well maybe I'm something
That made themselves from nothing

I lay paralyzed
While the hours fly by
Is it all right if I just survive?
Don't need to be perfect
But I'll try to be kind
Is it enough just to be alive?
