[VERSE 1]
Ambition now is amplified
I'm wondering, waiting when the tide will carry me away
I tried to run, I couldn't hide
Beneath the laughter and the smiles
My headspace' here to stay
I don't want to be simply another spectator
I've too much to prove
I don't want to be seen on the same elevator
Too much weight to move
[Chorus] x2
While everybody sleeps
I'm up doing my thing
Some say I'm in too deep
Can't say I feel the same
[VERSE 2]
Forgiveness granted, past behind
It's safe to say it's been awhile since I've felt this okay
Keep mentioning my mental health
Like can't we talk about something else?
I don't know what to say
Pray that I won't please their false perceptions
It's not natural
I intend to leave lasting impressions
Quite theatrical
[Chorus] x2
While everybody sleeps
I'm up doing my thing
Some say I'm in too deep
Can't say I feel the same
[BRIDGE]
How do you come back from something like that and retain your sanity?
How will things ever be the same?
I tried at everything, couldn't shake the sickness in my system
I chose a challenge for a change
[Chorus] x2
While everybody sleeps
I'm up doing my thing
Some say I'm in too deep
Can't say I feel the same
