"The Coastal Glow" lyrics

"The Coastal Glow"

Am I still living like the ghost of somebody else?
A prisoner in my skin
I'm so haunted by the image I see of myself
Conforming under the pressure

I've been holding on for far too long
I'm facing my demons yet I'm hating myself
It's so hard to admit when we need help
Detached from reality, we lie to ourselves
It's so hard to admit when we need help
So compromised and vulnerable to a disease that tears at the seams
Invisible to the eye, God, I'm forever falling behind

Why am I still living like the ghost of somebody else?
A prisoner in my skin, I'm so haunted by the image I see of myself
Conforming under the pressure
We are helpless alone, staying isolated
We are helpless alone
This pride will become the death of me

My masculinity over my mental health
Suppressed emotions step into my personal hell
Consumed by the tide, I'm grasping for a lifeline
We all struggle to keep our pride in line
The warning signs aren't always crystal clear
It's not easy putting ourselves together down here

Reach my hands towards the surface
Searching for hope when I don't deserve it

Why am I still living like the ghost of somebody else?
A prisoner in my skin, I'm so haunted by the image I see of myself
Conforming under the pressure
We are helpless alone, staying isolated
We are helpless alone
This pride will become the death of me

Defeated in the wake, Lord, I'm swallowed whole
I accept my mistakes, I surrender control
Beneath the waves, God, I see your face
Wash over me and renew my faith
I will find solace, fulfill your promise, I am free
