Burn Myself Out of My Face

This life is not a race Or just about being better After all you gotta pace One step first before the other Never rush things Or push yourself out of pressure 'Cause your work Is not your life's measure Take it slow Zone out, that is better This is not just a song It's an open letter Have you ever wondered how it feels Like the back of your mind will burst out You got loads of ideas And things you wanna do But doubts just eliminate ya Too many questions Too many things Too many thoughts And too many everything I really don't know what to do first And I really don't know where to place 'em But I think I just need To back off for a second Or maybe a day or two Just to get myself back up in position And maybe in the right direction Gotta pace myself where there is grace I'll never work it out again like it's a race And then burn myself out of my face And then find me inside of a maze Take a break and pace yourself When you work tons I tell you, you will lose yourself Gotta breathe some air again I just wanna run around and be free again And again And again Be free again Oh, be free again Be free again Guess I have the anxiety of productivity I think it's fear of missing out haunting me I feel like when I don't work I'd lose momentum But new momentum starts when you rest Just like the rest They work their best But they don't ever realize they're losing themselves We will get there, I promise ya Just stay calm Don't let anxiety get ya I know this situation is teaching me patience I should probably learn how to wait For the right time At the right place With the right pace And with grace I should probably close my eyes And give myself a really freakin' good night rest Maybe next time after this I'll come back with excitement coming out of my chest I need to rest Oh, I need to rest Oh, I need to rest Yeah
