Somewhere I Can Breathe

Happy Sunday, friends! Here's my offering for today: an ode to being sick of spending too much time on my phone, in my head, or in the invisible future. I'd rather stay in the present moment wherever I can, but wow, we don't live in a world that's conducive to that.
Lyrics
It takes a lot to look away from that black mirror, yeah
The hits of dopamine are few and far between
Hits like battery acid rushing through the folds of my brain
It’s a battering ram that shoves me further back in the cave
But I’d rather be here
I’d rather be here
I want to be here
Get me outta my head and take me somewhere I can breathe, oh
Get me outta the red, ‘cause lately, baby, I can’t sleep
Strap yourself in and start the car
No distance would be too far
Won’t complicate this and make it hard
Just wanna get away —hey!
Get me outta my head and take me somewhere I can breathe
It took a lot to scrape the glue out of my eyes, mm yeah
I always thought some time with you could melt my ice, mm
It’s the song of the siren, calling me to disengage
Fits the forensic impression, sketch me harder into the page
But I’d rather be here
I want to be here
I want to be here
Get me outta my head and take me somewhere I can breathe, oh
Get me outta the red, ‘cause lately, baby, I can’t sleep
Strap yourself in and start the car
No distance would be too far
Won’t complicate this and make it hard
Just wanna get away —hey!
Get me outta my head and take me somewhere I can breathe
Oh, oh
Get me outta my head and take me somewhere I can breathe, oh
Get me outta the red, ‘cause lately, baby, I can’t sleep
Get me outta my head and take me somewhere I can breathe, oh
Get me outta the red, ‘cause lately, baby, I can’t sleep
Strap yourself in and start the car
No distance would be too far
Won’t complicate this and make it hard
Just wanna get away —hey!
Get me outta my head and take me somewhere I can breathe
