The rim looks farther away today Sighs are building on top of the court The boy is afraid of reality But his heart is at peace only when he throws the ball Throwing the ball by himself What I’m shooting at the rim Are my countless thoughts and worries I pretend to know the world but my body is still not ready Shoot, the court is my playground With my movements, a small ball bounces next to my feet The results are as low as the floor But I just shout outloud to the world that everything’s gonna be alright But the world gives me fear, then just stop Thoughts fill my head and instead of the ball, I throw my future Because of the other’s standard of success My worries spread like cancer again, god damn it
Along with the thrown ball, laughter starts to spread My breath rises to my chin, my dreams squirm about The dribbles get faster, my heart gets happier This moment feels like it’ll last forever but the sun is setting When the night comes again, reality gets destroyed When I snap out of it, I’m just a scared idiot again I keep getting scared at the looming sense of reality Others are running ahead but why am I still here?
Breathe or dream Row the oars along with your heartbeat If you are trapped in the other’s thin judgements Then the sun will set on your life like a court
What am i doin’ with my life This moment won’t ever come again I’m asking myself again, am I happy right now? The answer is already there, I’m happy
