PERMISSION
Finding Strength in Self-Approval
Lyrics
I can't stand,
I am unable to endure
Pick myself,
Lift myself
Gold is flowing through my veins
Wealth or success is coursing through my bloodstream
Spinning like a hurricane
Turning rapidly like a powerful storm
Wake up just to play the game
Awakening solely to engage in the struggle
Write these words to ease my pain
Creating these words to alleviate my suffering
Pressure,
Pressure or stress
I know it's supposed to make diamonds
Acknowledging that pressure is meant to create valuable results like diamonds
That's why I keep fighting
This is why I persist in the battle
Fighting all these "what if's", critics, I've got enough of those in my head
Fighting against doubts and critics in my mind
See the finish line but it's like my feet are stuck in cement
Seeing the goal, but feeling immobilized, stuck like cement
I can't stand moving through motions
Refusing to go through the motions
Pick myself up, I'm not broken
Picking myself up, not shattered
Gold is flowing through my veins
Wealth or success continues to flow within me
Spinning like a hurricane
Spinning energetically like a hurricane
Wake up just to play the game
Waking up just to participate in the challenges
Write these words to ease my pain
Expressing these words to alleviate my suffering
I need my permission
I require my own permission
I've gotta show myself that what I want is realistic
Must demonstrate to myself that my aspirations are achievable
I need my permission
I require my own permission
No more overthinking, wasted patience,
No more excessive contemplation, no more wasted patience
Won't play victim to my thoughts
Refusing to be a victim of my own thoughts
I need my permission
I require my own permission
Yeah, yeah
Yes, yes
I need my permission
I require my own permission
Tethered,
Connected or tied
To stories still in the making
To stories that are still unfolding
Facing feelings that aren't going away
Confronting emotions that persist
Watch the night turn to days
Observing the transition from night to day
But my life hasn't changed
Yet, my life remains unchanged
Somehow I can't escape
Somehow unable to escape
The self that's still in the way
The self that obstructs my path
I can't stand moving through motions
Refusing to go through the motions
Pick myself up, I'm not broken
Picking myself up, not shattered
Gold is flowing through my veins
Wealth or success continues to flow within me
Spinning like a hurricane (Yeah)
Spinning energetically like a hurricane (Yes)
Wake up just to play the game (Ah ahh)
Waking up just to participate in the challenges (Ah ahh)
Write these words to ease my pain
Expressing these words to alleviate my suffering
I need my permission
I require my own permission
I've gotta show myself that what I want is realistic
Must demonstrate to myself that my aspirations are achievable
I need my permission
I require my own permission
No more overthinking, wasted patience,
No more excessive contemplation, no more wasted patience
Won't play victim to my thoughts
Refusing to be a victim of my own thoughts
I need my permission (I need, I need my permission)
I require my own permission (I require, I require my own permission)
Yeah, yeah
Yes, yes
I need my permission, yeah
I require my own permission, yes
I need my permission
I require my own permission
I need my permission, yeah (Yeah)
I require my own permission, yes (Yes)
