[Verse 1]
I been drownin' in my mind
And I can barely breathe
Treadin' water like a child in need
Why'd you have to leave me here
To work it out alone?
I don't want to grow up this fast on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I've been messin' up lately
Livin' on no sleep, barely alive
Now I see when every reflection
Should be in heaven by now
[Chorus]
I'm covered in chaos
Wakin' up nightly without you
And I'm fadin' deeper
Losin' hold of control
Too young to be faithless
Give it up nightly without you
Send me a sign
That you're not alone
[Verse 2]
And I been kept straight by your hand
But now I'm gasoline
Startin' fires and washin' sand
With sea
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I've been messin' up lately
Livin' on no sleep, barely alive
Now I see when every reflection
Should be in heaven by now
[Chorus]
Covered in chaos
Wakin' up nightly without you
And I'm fadin' deeper
Losin' hold of control
Too young to be faithless
Give it up nightly without you
Send me a sign
That you're not alone
[Bridge]
And I'm not a fool, just beat up by truth
I hope it'll pass by the time I see you
Get out of this room, get over the truth
And I'll be okay by the time I see you
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know I've been messin' up lately
Livin' on no sleep, barely alive
[Chorus]
I'm covered in chaos
Wakin' up nightly without you
And I'm fadin' deeper
Losing hold of control
Too young to be faithless
Give it up nightly without you
Send me a sign
That you're not alone
So send me a sign
That you're not alone
Covered in Chaos was written by Billy Lockett & James Earp.
Billy Lockett released Covered in Chaos on Tue Dec 18 2018.
Billy Lockett told London In Stereo,
This song is about turning on the self-destruct button after something negative and unexpected happens in your life. It’s about how we can all so easily slip into creating chaos in our lives as a way of dealing with loss.
