I wrote “Buying Time” as a way of expressing the pain that I felt during many dark and hard times in my life. As a person who struggles with mental health, this song talks about different struggles that a person can go through, and how sometimes it’s hard to see the good when you’re in such a dark place. But, if you keep pushing through, no matter how hard it feels, eventually the good will always prevail. I hope that anyone listeniing to this song knows that although times can be extremely rough, and it can be difficult to see the good, if you keep holding on things will get better.

LYRICS:
Thought the praying, would make it better
But I swear to God I’m just as lost as ever
Thought the bottle, would hold me over
It still hurt me just as bad when I got sober
Everyone around me’s found a way to let it go
But I can’t help but focus on the things I can’t control
All the darkness in my mind
Pain that I can’t leave behind
I know there’s a silver line that I can’t see
All the cold and sleepless nights
Running out of ways to fight
I know there’s a morning light in my reach
If I keep buying time
I stopped going out to bars
I quit smoking
Thought that giving that all up would keep me going
I got over, people pleasing
I quit falling into love that had no meaning
I could search forever for a peace I’ll never know
But I can’t help but focus on the things I can’t control
All the darkness in my mind
Pain that I can’t leave behind
I know there’s a silver line that I can’t see
All the cold and sleepless nights
Running out of ways to fight
I know there’s a morning light in my reach
If I keep buying time
There’s a storm inside my dreams
I’m still standing on two feet
Let the current carry me
When the water gets too deep
All the darkness in my mind
Pain that I can’t leave behind
I know there’s a silver line that I can’t see
All the cold and sleepless nights
Running out of ways to fight
I know there’s a morning light in my reach
If I keep buying time
