+# Today.
+Next year. \
+Next month. \
+Next week. \
+Today.
+
+Today, I feel the breeze. \
+I keep my feet planted. \
+I spread my wings.
+
+Today. \
+The breeze picks up. \
+I'm feeling nervous. \
+I start my run.
+
+Today. \
+I prepare to leap. \
+One extra check. \
+I'm almost there.
+
+Today. \
+I shake my head. \
+I find my ground. \
+I'm still just standing. \
+I contemplate.
+
+Like sleep paralysis in the early hours of the morning, like a sudden jolt from a lucid daydream, I'm still just standing. All I can see right now is today, and today, I'm still just standing.
+
+Today, like my hesitance to ambition, is temporary. Daydreams only last until you make them your reality.

+# Stillwater Pond
+_She said "sweetie, whatcha thinkin'?"_ \
+_I stared down at the ground_ \
+_I don't think life is easy, and it's hitting me right now_ \
+_We walked right down the sidewalk and I opened up my mouth_ \
+_"My life is in a strange place,_ \
+_Like sitting at a pond,_ \
+_And noticing the stillness, and taking in the calm"_
+
+(Mmmhmm) _I don't know what I'm doing, can't you tell?_ \
+(Mmmhmm) _Not used to all the silence in my head_ \
+(Mmmhmm) _And I'll be honest, I make my life hell_ \
+(Mmmhmm) _So how am I supposed to do the rest?_
+
+_Don't keep making your storms, girl, it's all you can do, to keep pushing through_ \
+_Appreciate all the quiet, 'cus now your life is just up to you_ \
+_You had it all along_ \
+_Never had to write this song_ \
+_So as long as we're sitting, here's the truth_ \
+_You don't need to know what to do_
+
+_I used to resort to drinking_ \
+_It could numb the pain I felt_ \
+_Every weekend I'd repeat it, and the weekdays just as well_ \
+_I chose to just deny it, grin and bare, I'd tell myself_ \
+_Now I'm not still in college_ \
+_Or in a shitty job_ \
+_So I told myself at my age I should practice self love_
+
+(Mmmhmm) _Maybe I'm in more control than I let on_ \
+(Mmmhmm) _When I stop the issues new ones just appear_ \
+(Mmmhmm) _Wait, I'm starting to think they're already gone_ \
+(Mmmhmm) _I should take my own advice, get out of here_
+
+_Don't keep making your storms, girl, it's all you can do, to keep pushing through_ \
+_Appreciate all the quiet, 'cus now your life is just up to you_ \
+_You had it all along_ \
+_Never had to write this song_ \
+_So as long as we're sitting, here's the truth_ \
+_You don't need to know what to do_
+
+_I'm sitting at the airport_ \
+_I'm on standby for the flight_ \
+_I don't feel so agitated_ \
+_About figuring out life_ \
+_There's no way to have answers_ \
+_And I don't need to plan_ \
+_I'll just fucking make it_ \
+_Just a step at a time_ \
+_Take a breath, it'll be fine_ \
+_You don't need to be right_ \
+_Just keep doing what you can_
