"Gateway" lyrics

She pulls me in seven directions
With the promise of a human connection
She told me it's the start of a new age
I took a step through the gateway

Couldn't wait for another try
Started hating that screen, but it takes time
When you're trying to make things that'll polarize
And you finally don't feel like it's do or die
I might
Call it all off for a couple days
But I can't talk 'cause I got too much on my plate
Tell me
If I let all of the light in now
Would it make it better or would it burn me out?

Call off the cavalry
All I need is to fade out
Give me some room to breathe
All I need is a way out

Unaffected by the world that's in front of me
And I'm closing off my heart, is that what you call autonomy
I get terrified of art when I cut it with honesty
So I tear it all apart, call it part of the mystery

Self-mythologize the sharp divide
Between what I think and what I really am
And if it all breaks down
I'm the only one who's gonna help me out

Call off the cavalry
All I need is to fade out
Give me some room to breathe
All I need is a way out

(Give me some room to breathe
All I need is a way out)

She pulls me in seven directions
With the promise of a human connection
She told me it's the start of a new age
I took a step through the gateway
