lyrics

Intro/Outro
Maybe If the truth can save your life (I’ll let you know x2)
Maybe it’s your youth that shows the light (I’ll let you know x2)
Lean into the future for the night (I’ll let you know x2)
Then get taken away~

Verse 1
Stay here, tell me is it truth or is it fear?
Cause maybe your youth will set you free
Or maybe I just don’t know nothing
While it still comes easy to me
I’ll grow, images of things played on a roll
Well isn’t it cool? That’s it for me.
Moving outta cycles spinning out, is this what it’s all about?

Chorus
Tell me one thing, tell me nothing
Is it all but wasted?
Maybe someday we’ll have something
That says “Everything’s connected”
I can’t overstep, I can’t be no one else
Mama told me that “you got to know yourself”
Cause time won’t wait, so whether it’s true
I’ll let you know x2

Verse 2
Be true, ownership of things I wanna do
Cause lately my view just isn’t clear
Moving outta cycles spinning out, is this what it’s all about?
Now you can just shake it off, hard times you can just take it all
Satan and God gave me attention, overcome with no direction
Online lookin inside the house, offline lookin inside myself
Overcome with no direction, all was lost or so I thought

That’s when I punched back in real time (Real time)
And found every little thing in a new light
I looked to the sun and he looked back to me
Then he asked me “is this really where you wanna be?” No

Back To Chorus

Know yourself x3
You can just know yourself X4

Back to intro/outro x2
