about

Part of a full-length album of original songs conceived, written, and performed by a group of ten selected LGBTQIA+ young people from across the United States. And the craziest part... they recorded the whole thing from the comfort of their own homes.

lyrics

Breathe in breathe out
Deep breath slow down
Hold on for a moment
And dream out loud

I put so much stress on myself
To be like somebody else
I’m getting so overwhelmed
Sometimes I just wanna yell
Ooooooh
How do I find out?

Who I am, who I’ll be
Lately I’ve been missing the simplicity
Of it all, I can’t sleep
Wish I could get back to that mentality
Of carefree, you and me
Living without worrying about how I’m perceived

Calm down let go
Be patient, go slow
There’s no (there’s no) due dates (due dates)
You don’t have to know

You put so much stress on yourself
To be like somebody else
You’re getting so overwhelmed
Don’t you just wanna yell
Ooooooh
How do we find out?

Who we are, who we’ll be
Haven’t you been missing the simplicity (the simplicity)
Of it all (of it all) can’t sleep (can’t sleep)
Wish we could get back to that mentality
Of carefree, you and me,
Living without worrying about how we’re perceived

Oh living without worrying about how we’re perceived
Oh doesn’t it just make you it just makes me wanna scream
Oh living without worrying about how we’re perceived
Oh doesn’t it just make you it just makes me wanna scream
