​empty nesters

[Verse 1: anem0s]
Could you tell me what it is that I'm missing?
I've been waiting by so long for a mission
What's my problem? Are you checking my condition?
Tell me what's wrong with a little ambition
I've been feeling washed up, what's the rush?
I've been fighting demons and I never keep in touch
I've been talking to my thoughts, tryna think the right stuff
But it's never not enough, life's always getting tough

[Chorus: anem0s]
Thought I'd never see the change, but I'm moving away
Empty nesters back home
Know I got a lot to say, but I'm stuck in my head
Blocking out all my problems
Started thinking I was better off staying in bed (Aw, man)
And if the world behaved, I'd be better off now than I was yеsterday
It's okay to take a break if you need to
Don't shy away from thе people who believe you

[Verse 2: anem0s]
So I'm watching where I step and I'll keep on pushing
And the secrets that I kept, now I know I really shouldn't
So I'll take another breath, I was too focused on my footing
It took all that I had not to fall right into it
Picture this, I'm never sitting 'til I stop
Kept my eyes on the clock, counting seconds 'til I— caught
A glimpse of what I'm seeking, I could never miss the top
If I never ever make it, I can't bear to take the drop

[Verse 3: tigerstar]
Thought I'd never see the change, but I'm moving away
I took a little bit too much of what I really can take
Getting too attached to the buzz I feel when I'm awake
It's only when I sleep enough I can get up to make (Something of myself)
You gotta be trying to turn around
You can't be so ready to be turned down
Why are you wanting to rush things to happen now?
I don't really mind if they're making me wait
It's really not as serious as they make it out to be
Closer to home than a different agency
Know I can sound just a little too passionate

[Bridge: tigerstar & anem0s]
I wonder if I'll live up to all you expect from me
Letting them down amplifies the pressure
But I won't let you down, however you measure that

[Chorus: anem0s]
Thought I'd never see the change, but I'm moving away
Empty nesters back home
Know I got a lot to say, but I'm stuck in my head
Blocking out all my problems
Started thinking I was better off staying in bed (Aw, man)
And if the world behaved, I'd be better off now than I was yesterday
It's okay to take a break if you need to
Don't shy away from the people who believe you
