about

i'm graduating college and i don't have anything concrete lined up afterwards... but i Know i'll be fine. it feels isolating sometimes but i'm sure there are plenty of other people out there who feel the same way, so i hope this song travels their way. i see and hear you. and things will happen for us -- trust time and your cosmic inclinations despite what everyone else tells you. i'm glad i finally do. and if nobody else does.. know that i believe in you.

lyrics

one more week until school's out forever
id be lyin’ if i said i had my shit together
i'm without a plan,
but i know where i’m goin’

in my chest i heard my cosmic compass whisper
it said from here i’ll be ever upward
but when i try to explain it,
i cant find the words

i trust that voice in my ribs,
cause she's never ever lied
except for maybe once
or fifty times

the skeptics rolled their eyes
at my cosmic revelation
but inside i can't fight
this directional inclination

when i hit rock bottom,
i managed to dig deeper
but my lease in the tectonic plates is over
and i’m moving ever upward

i can't explain something i've always known
or that's how the story of fate goes

can't tell it over, only i know the words
but maybe you’ll understand
when you see me
ever upward
