Текст песни Koala - Self Cover - Will Stetson

Waking up again, oh god, my mind is a mess
And all my thoughts tie in knots inside my head
While every dream sings sweetly, begging to stay
But though I fight, it's time to start the day

Breakfast made, but oh, what a pain
I choke it down, what an empty, boring taste
"How was the food?", you ask
So happy and bright
"I guess it's fine," I go and hide my eyes

But inside, nothing's fine
And if you ever ask me why
All I do is turn around and smile

So tell me, why should I even try?
I'm frozen away in time
It's pointless to try and fight against it
Doubled again in sighs

So now, I just wanna waste away
Please, let me escape the weight
And sleep like an old koala every day

Sitting down again, oh god, my mind is a mess
And all my thoughts tie in knots inside my head
So many people talking, buzzing away
But every noise rings dull inside my brain

Now, I wonder, "Is it okay?"
"Are all the people thinking all the same?"
You would imagine after day 88
These tired thoughts would all just fade away

'Cause inside, nothing's fine
It should be clear to prying eyes
But I won't let the feelings see the light

So tell me, why should I even try?
I'm frozen away in time
The walls close around me, sinking closer
I'm trapped deep within my mind

So now, I just wanna run away
From all the thoughts that I'll never chase
Knock out like an old koala every day-ay

I'm choking in a sea
What could I ever do? (What could I ever do?)
And deep inside, I can't decide if I should die and follow through

When you offer me a hand
I wonder, "is it right?"
To bet upon the chance and open up my life

Is it wrong to run and hide?
Come tell me why
Is everything okay?
I just wanna stop and say
You don't have to cry alone and take it sinking deep beneath the weight
Guess I went and caved

I wonder, is there another way?
Because I want to believe that one day I'll be okay

So now, I'll give it another try
I can finally see with a clearer mind
Even if the bumps in the road might try to stop me
Still, it'll be alright

Keeping it inside isn't clearing up the sky
So you tighten your hand in mine
Following the light like a cute koala laughing in stride
