In The Morning
The Boombachs Lyrics

I look up, I look down
I am searching for answers, looking in every direction

Still my answer ain't found
I have not found the answer I am looking for

And I'm still tryna figure it out
I am still trying to understand and solve this problem

I peak high, I see low
I have a broad perspective, seeing both the good and the bad

Though I still never know
But I still don't understand why I feel this way

Why I'm feeling this void in my soul
There is an emptiness inside me that I can't explain

I feel I'm beside myself, still I can't seem to find myself
I feel disconnected from myself and my true identity, and I can't seem to reconnect

I really need to unwind myself, for health reasons in particular
I need to relax and take care of myself, especially for my mental and physical health

Lately I'm so caught up in the extra curricular
Lately I have been constantly doing things outside of my regular routine

Yet again I'm lost and I can't be found
Once again I feel lost and disconnected from myself

Tryna yell, can't seem to make a sound
I am trying to express myself, but I feel like nobody is listening or understanding

I look down, the ground beneath me is round,
I notice my surroundings, but it doesn't bring me any closer to finding answers

But I walk straight passed cause I'm homeward bound
I am focused on going back to the place where I feel comfortable and safe

Hands down, but you can take notes if you wanna
I am confident in what I am doing, but I am still open to learning and growing

Shakespeare is dead but he lives in my drummer
Even though someone may be gone, their legacy lives on through their art and influence

My sheets seem to get more sleep than me, and lately it's the funniest thing
I am not getting enough sleep, and it's ironic that even my sheets seem to get more rest than I do

But I grin
Despite my struggles, I try to stay positive and keep a smile on my face

Lying's much easier than trying and laughter is easier than crying
Sometimes it's easier to lie or avoid difficult situations, and it's easier to laugh than to express sadness

What we're searching for is a goal
We are all looking for a purpose or direction in life

With a hole so a point might hit the soul
We are searching for something that will fill the emptiness inside us and bring meaning to our lives

Now it's an issue to try and break free from the mould
It's difficult to break free from societal expectations and norms

The weather is stormy, the feeling is cold
I feel emotionally unsettled and disconnected from my surroundings

Sold out, we are restocked to be bought
We are constantly being sold things and told what to believe in

Runaway slave, I was meant to be caught, up
I feel trapped in a system that I can't escape from

Caught in the act of reacting to change
I am constantly having to respond to changes in my life and environment

Showing these people the scariest things
I am exposing people to things that are difficult and uncomfortable to confront

Atticus Finch in this bitch and I'm making this mockingbird sing
I am standing up for what is right, even if it means going against the expectations of society

And I'm so invincible, so bulletproof
I am feeling confident and unstoppable

No JKF in this John Willis booth
I am not trying to be someone I'm not, I am being myself

Seek truth, and he roots to grow out of the drummer
I want to find the truth and grow from my experiences and struggles

But the damage really got me kinda startled
I have been hurt and it has left me feeling shocked and overwhelmed

So from root, to tip, to follicle, you're more than just a monica
I see the value and complexity in every person, beyond just their name or label

The period's late so we search for the comma
We are trying to find meaning and significance in our lives, like searching for punctuation in a sentence

Birthing these words seeking no baby mama
I am expressing myself through my art, without needing validation or approval from anyone else

I'm opening windows, shutting the doors
I am trying to let in new experiences and perspectives, while also closing myself off from negativity

Closing my mouth, I can listen more
I am learning to be a better listener and hear other people's perspectives

I'm married to music, she love when I sing
Music is a major passion in my life, and it brings me joy to create and perform

This relationship isn't a fling
My love for music is not temporary, it is a lifelong commitment

No it's the bling, no it's the absence of change
I am not motivated by material possessions, but sometimes I struggle to make progress and improve my situation

The person wearing it's the same
I am responsible for my own growth and change, not external factors

This ain't a game, I couldn't do it for fame
My passion for music is genuine and not motivated by a desire for fame or attention

If I did it wouldn't be the same
If I pursued music just for fame or money, it wouldn't be authentic or true to myself

Why am I still here in the morning?
I am questioning my purpose and place in the world, and why I am still struggling with these issues

And I said it wasn't easy
I am acknowledging that my struggles are difficult and not easily overcome
