Verse 1
I sat for years beside my breath
Waiting for some little death
Of the noise, the fear, the mind, the ache
Some holy shift I couldn’t make
I watched the thoughts, I named the pain
I came back to the now again
But mostly all I seemed to find
Was one more way to judge my mind
Pre-Chorus
And I got tired
Of trying to be
A better version
Of what I should be
Chorus
What if it’s enough
To live this life awake in simpler ways?
To read, to love, to do good work
To speak the truth some days
What if it’s enough
To stop pretending this all sings
When maybe all I really need
Is honest, ordinary things
Verse 2
I’ve got a project due next week
A stack of books, a mind that leaks
A life that doesn’t fit so well
Inside some spiritual sales pitch hell
They say ten years can change your soul
But ten years sometimes just take toll
And if the practice leaves you cold
Maybe it’s not you that failed the role
Pre-Chorus
Maybe the dry thing
Is simply dry
Maybe not all roads
Are mine to try
Chorus
What if it’s enough
To live this life awake in simpler ways?
To read, to love, to do good work
To speak the truth some days
What if it’s enough
To stop pretending this all sings
When maybe all I really need
Is honest, ordinary things
Bridge
I’m not against the quiet
I’m not against the deep
I’m only done with chasing
What never wanted me
And if there’s something sacred
It doesn’t need disguise
Maybe it meets me plainly
In this unpolished life
Final Chorus
Maybe it’s enough
To let this human life be what it is
To fail, to learn, to laugh, to ache
To not keep searching past this
Maybe it’s enough
To drop the strain of trying to transcend
And find that being fully here
Was never second-best in the end
Outro
So here’s my cup
Here’s my page
Here’s my unfinished, ordinary age
No bells, no blaze, no mystic proof
Just this small life
And maybe truth
