Ln - Getting Older Lyrics

I'm getting older
My words sound more profound
Always wondered what severity
Tastes like in my mouth
And now I'm hiding to build a castle with these sheets
To make sense out of you
And keep the chaos out of me
I think it's funny
I've never felt this old before
But since I'm stuck inside this room
It isn't easy to ignore
That I am rushing
To fit the story
I once told myself

Slowly is the fastest way to get to where I want to be
And I seek growth inside these walls
Ornaments inspire me
But I believe in clarity
Aware of my own pace
I carry on

Behold my mother
I share her truth and tenderness
But I am turning 28 and still refuse to ask for help
I hear potential when I start to sing at 3AM
Don't confuse me for the birds
Don't compare me to the poets
I am all I'll ever know
And now I'm stumbling through the hallway
I'm aware of who I am
But still scared to take up all the space

Slowly is the fastest way to get to where I want to be
And I seek growth inside these walls
Ornaments inspire me
But I believe in clarity
Aware of my own pace
I carry on

I carry on
I carry on
I carry on
I carry on

I carry
I carry
I carry
I carry
