[Verse 1 - Male] Yeah, look I don't do crowds, I'm devoted to the quiet though Yeah, been on this path for a while, don't know my own style though Gotta build it, it's a feeling I can't shake though I just wanna lay one more brick, keep claiming I'll accept Keep claiming that I'll bend but I break slow I just want a little space, don't wanna join the race I don't like it when I stray from the workload But lately I've been thinking I might have to Let go of the blueprints that I'm drawn to The world don't slow just because I'm on a new road You don't know what strength is 'Til you're holding up a ceiling that could fall through That's why I'm tryna get this together Hands raw, putting labor in, tryna build better I like the peace but I won't be in the silence forever Forget the praise, I'm refocusing on holding this center Moment I stand up, I just wanna know I'm doing my part And if I'm not, please forgive me, you can have the false start 'Cause I can feel the solitude trying to wall off my heart Most of my life I always felt like I was learning the chart Holding my cards, to be honest, and I'm tired of it Looking for something in this dirt to feel a fire in it I like to walk around and act like I don't know what to build But I know what it is, I just never wanna stand still, running from (My own ground) [Chorus - Female, breathy] I'm looking for my own ground I'm searching for my own ground I'm building on my own ground I just want, I just want my own ground [Verse 2 - Male] Yeah, I don't like new plans Got a lot of worn-out hands Oh, you wanna offer me a shortcut, effortless? I don't wanna hear your commands Yeah, tossing in my bed Every doubt repeats inside my head Thinkin' 'bout how I coulda done this or done that smarter Can't help it, that's just me instead (Lies) That's just me avoiding the trust Yeah, it's prolly why these foundations are covered in dust Yeah, it's prolly why I sit alone and quietly combust Telling myself that I ain't ever getting out of this rut Outta my way, if you're telling me I need to be seen That's the issue though, I'm always by my own criticism driven Taking the wrong tools, acting like I know what they're for Waiting for the whole thing to crumble right down to the floor I need (My own ground) Yeah, it's kinda easy to claim, right? But difficult to prove when I feel like I hate light And everyone around me kinda thinks I'm a brave sight But I don't ever think it, so I think I'm a fake, hiding (My own ground) It's something that I know I should own I'm a little uncomfortable to do this alone But to be honest with you lately I've got nothing but stone See, I've always been full of doubt but now I'm making it known Looking for (My own ground) [Chorus - Female, breathy] I'm looking for my own ground I'm searching for my own ground I'm building on my own ground I just want, I just want... [Bridge - Male] I need a handful of patience I don't like praise but I'll face it I don't wanna hear what I should or I shouldn't craft Why are they always so flagrant? See, all my ambitions are nascent All my ambitions are riots They don't want comfort to find me Mention that name and my inner critic gets biased That's why I'm checking the structure It keeps on standing but I know Breathing don't mean you're a builder, so I bag up all of my doubts and walk on the first floor Positive thoughts are my strangers I'm tryna learn all their languages Should I feel stable? I don't Last year I felt like a ruin This year I might do something different like planting a seed more [Outro - Male and Female together] I'm looking for (My own ground) (It's all I need, it's all I want) I'm searching for (My own ground) (Standing on) I'm looking for... I just want, I just want (My own ground) I'm looking for (My own ground) (Walking on) I'm searching for (My own ground) (Yeah, It's all I got) I'm looking for... I just want, I just want my own ground
