I sit here counting the days

It starts to weigh so heavily

You have to chose; does this path from the past mean the world to you? On time, too late or too soon, will you be ready for your vision when it comes true?
Questions the significance of a past path and emphasizes the importance of readiness for one's aspirations.
Voracious, and you're out of your mind, always grabbing onto things that'll eat you alive. It's not the first proposition, it's the best. Everything is a test. Everything is a test. You don't know who you're talking to, I'll destroy your life and blame it on you. And as you think it stands, you're dead without me, so I can. You don't understand

I'm stepping back from what I know is the truth, I just don't feel the way I used to

I'd turn my back if you would follow me. We could just run away, we could just run away

I'm not good at faking where I wanna be
The speaker struggles to pretend to be in a place they don't genuinely desire.
It's my heart or my sanity
A conflict between emotions and rationality, having to choose between following the heart or maintaining sanity.

Regretting missed opportunities and dwelling on unspoken words.
On time, too late or too soon; will you be ready for your vision when it comes true? Cause when it does, it'll swallow you

I fear the burden of truth
The speaker is afraid of bearing the weight of reality or honesty.
Voracious, and you're out of your mind, always grabbing onto things that'll eat you alive. It's not the first proposition, it's the best. Everything is a test. Everything is a test.

I'm stepping back from what I know is the truth, I just don't feel the way I used to
