Untitled (When you have nothing)

Untitled

Verse 1

When you have nothing

You think about everything

It's difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality

They seem vivid and they look so sharp

For all you know this could be the cruellest joke

Sifting through the noise in your mind is daring

You have to challenge your fears

And your preconceived notions

You're in a state of vulnerability

But you're strong enough to analyze your identity

Only if you believed

Verse 2

Generational mess is a recurring pest

When you reach the peak of a hill

You come tumbling down

Recollecting yourself can reveal

The awfulness of the world

Every word, every sight

Surrounding you like an army

You're in a weakened state

But you're strong enough to resist defeat

Accepting your identity is powerful

Only if you believed

Verse 3

What you present is not how it's perceived

You can't control how others respond to your intentions

Wanting acceptance and being indifferent to opinions

Is an occasional struggle you have yet to come to terms with

You're in state of fragility

But you're strong enough to rebuild your fractured psyche

Only if you believed

Chorus 

If I had a penny for every thought

I'd be wealthy

Instead they dwell in me

Just like a hurricane

Waves of ideas and floods of regret

Permeate every part of my mind
