Virtues - Dear Me Lyrics

This is what I've become
Breathe in slowly, so encompassing
I won't be a lost cause
Harbouring adverse thoughts almost constantly
But optimism is a euphoric allure

Instil belief
I turn my head up to the sky
And I commune with nature
Will I ever be the best version of myself?
Time changes everything
But I won't expire

For what it's worth
It's over and gone
There's no turning back again
A great part of my suffering has withered
I'm moving closer
Closer to inner peace

No sadness
No pain
No remorse
Have mercy on me

(I'm in control)
With every waking moment, I feel
(I'm in control)
With the thoughts running through my head

I dream of reality
A vessel built to shine
A sudden surge for a need to escape
Carry my fears away
