Gustavostopher - Perspective Lyrics

It's hard to tell
The bottom from the top
If you never step back
And look at where you are
Without perspective you're just
Chasing 'til the grave
So breathe it in
And again
Find yourself in the chaos of life
Where am I going
Where have I been
My trajectory's eluding me
Am I racing to the end
Or am I stepping back
Is this even what I want
Have I overstayed my welcome
Does the world need me gone
Can I just fade away
I don't know where I fit
I don't know what to do
And this uncertainty is a burden that has
Kept me stuck in the past
While the future approaches fast
And I'm powerless in the present
A ship without a mast
It's hard to tell
The bottom from the top
If you never step back
And look at where you are
Without perspective you're just
Chasing 'til the grave
So breathe it in
And again
Find yourself in the chaos of life
I thought I'd have
Figured it out by now
But I'm in the present moment
Staring out the window
Watching the time flow as I
Wait for the hope to return
From the future that I doomed it to
But all the hope in the world is
Useless without action so
I've gotta take a stand
And start acting on my passions
Cuz the only life worth living
Is the life in which I'm trying
And as I'm sitting here dreading the future
All of my prospects are dying
A self-fulfilling prophecy
A mind filled with anxiety
Makes it really hard to see
That there's a way out
Forget the potential futures
Leave behind the wretched past
Live in the here and now
It's hard to tell
The bottom from the top
If you never step back
And look at where you are
Without perspective you're just
Chasing 'til the grave
So breathe it in
And again
Find yourself in the chaos of life
