Zoë Simpson - reality. Lyrics

This summer hasn't felt real
The heat didn't keep us inside
Let me get behind the wheel
Let's just leave our pain behind
Break into buildings
That don't belong to us
But we will claim it as if it was our own

We need some healing
Something new we haven't tried
Focus on breathing
Strip yourself of all your pride
Moment to just be
When's the last time that you gave yourself a break
Are you awake?
Just calm down a bit for goodness sakes

Can you let it go?
Let go of things that you despise
Let's go far from home
Forget the burdens of our real lives
Just push it all down
It wont come back to
Bite you, right?
The last thing that you want
Is to be thinking
Don't go back to reality

Yeah, I have problems
But I really shouldn't run from them
Leaving won't solve them
It will just create more mayhem
But you're convincing me
Maybe I should just give
Myself a break, am I awake?
I need to calm down for goodness sake

Can I let it go?
Let go of things that I despise
I'll go far from home
Forget the burdens of my real life
Just push it all down
It wont come back to
Bite me, right?
The last thing that I want
Is to be thinking
Don't go back to reality

My friend got kicked out
Make sure he's got a place to stay
Made my parents shout
Go faster on the freeway
A few bucks short
Guess that's the price to be paid
But it'll even out
Right?

His health declining
Gotta make sure he's okay
Misunderstanding
God, let me get through this day
Well now I'm broke, wow
I need to find a way
To even it out

Can I just let it go?
Let go of things that I despise
I can't really leave home
Responsibilities, let's get organized
Push it all away
I'll have a breakdown about it later
I can't stay like this
I need a favor
Bring me back to reality
