Verse 1
When you have nothing
You think about everything
It's difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality
They seem vivid and they look so sharp
For all you know this could be the cruellest joke
Sifting through the noise in your mind is daring
You have to challenge your fears
And your preconceived notions
You're in a state of vulnerability
But you're strong enough to analyze your identity
Only if you believed

Verse 2
Generational mess is a recurring pest
When you reach the peak of a hill
You come tumbling down
Recollecting yourself can reveal
The awfulness of the world
Every word, every sight
Surrounding you like an army
You're in a weakened state
But you're strong enough to resist defeat
Accepting your identity is powerful
Only if you believed

Verse 3
What you present is not how it's perceived
You can't control how others respond to your intentions
Wanting acceptance and being indifferent to opinions
Is an occasional struggle you have yet to come to terms with
You're in state of fragility
But you're strong enough to rebuild your fractured psyche
Only if you believed

Chorus
If I had a penny for every thought
I'd be wealthy
Instead they dwell in me
Just like a hurricane
Waves of ideas and floods of regret
Permeate every part of my mind
