The Coastal Glow

Am I still living like the ghost of somebody else? A prisoner in my skin I'm so haunted by the image I see of myself Conforming under the pressure I've been holding on, for far too long I'm facing my demons, yet I'm hating myself It's so hard to admit when we need help Detached from reality, we lie to ourselves It's so hard to admit when we need help So compromised and vulnerable, to a disease That tears at the seams Invisible to the eye. God, I'm forever falling behind Why am I still living like the ghost of somebody else? A prisoner in my skin I'm so haunted by the image I see of myself Conforming under the pressure We are helpless alone, staying isolated We are helpless alone This pride will become the death of me My masculinity over my mental health Suppressed emotions, step into my personal hell Consumed by the tide, I'm grasping for a lifeline We all struggle to keep our pride in line The warning signs aren't always crystal clear It's not easy putting ourselves together down here Reach my hands towards the surface Searching for hope when I don't deserve it Why am I still living like the ghost of somebody else? A prisoner in my skin I'm so haunted by the image I see of myself Conforming under the pressure We are helpless alone, staying isolated We are helpless alone This pride will become the death of me Defeated in the wake, Lord, I'm swallowed whole I accept my mistakes, I surrender control Beneath the waves, God, I see your face Wash over me, and renew my faith I will find solace Fulfill your promise I am free
