Micah Lindley - Center of Attention Lyrics

This is how it goes
When dreams collide with veracity
I keep my head face down
In an attempt at a hidden strategy
This is how it goes
When I forget what I've been tasked with
It may not even show
But I think it's right for me to admit

I hide behind my face
I'm the center of attention
I love at my own pace
I'm the center of attention
Pull me out and fill in the void
Pull me out and fill in the void

Here is my predicament
I desire my own sentiment
It must be true I've thought it through
Then again do my thoughts have relevance
If my thoughts are an opposition
To my focus on elevation
Then to say that I'm not self-centered
Would be a poorly planned negation
This is a problem
It's beginning to become a troubling notion
A downfall in motion
If this persists the tether will tighten around my wrist
Take hold of my fist pull me down to the ground
Take me off of my feet to lay flat on my back
As easy as that
A stone moves down
Well that's what I'll be
A stone like my heart that's been hardened by me

I hide behind my face
I'm the center of attention
I love at my own pace
I'm the center of attention
Pull me out and fill in the void
Pull me out and fill in the void

Pull me out and fill in the void
Pull me out and fill in the void

Can I just for a moment be authentically real
Take control of all my thoughts and the emotions I feel
Put aside my insecurities, the turbulent mess
And remember what it was like to make someone else feel blessed
Cause I am not alone in life's inevitable struggles
I'm not the only one whose mind is tormented with troubles
We're in this thing together and alone is not the way
But in this moment, alone is where I'll probably stay
