Original Cast of Ranked: A New Musical
Peace of Mind
[LILY]
Everybody's angry
Everybody's screaming
They want someone to blame
But what's the real reason?
I tried to heed your advice
Just keep my eye on the prize
Now take a breath and be fine
Do what it takes to survive
Until we run out of time
Tell me this a dream
It's not as bad as it seems
Still what I don't understand
Is how this got so out of hand
So someone's cheating
Someone's always cheating
Always lying, always fighting, always crying
Make it go away
Will this go away?
It's about time that I found peace of mind
After all, I've followed where I was led
I've been told that once I get older
I'll be fine, I'll see it was all in my head
It's not all in my head
It's not all in my head
[STUDENTS]
What did you say, what did you say?
What did you say, what did you say?
What did you say?
Outta my way, outta my way, outta my way
Outta my way, outta my way, outta my way
[LILY]
I can't take another year of this
I'm sick of hearing this
Everyone's telling me who I'm supposed to be
Just breathe, you'll be fine
This time there's nobody helping
Just breathe, you'll be fine
You'll be fine!
But life keeps rolling forward
Spinning faster
Back and forth
A roller coaster
Upside down like this
Over and over again
So here I go, free-falling
Now there's no one calling in the backup
'Cause who the hell would stand up?
Just breathe!
I'll be fine
This time, I'll get my peace of mind
I've tried to follow where I was led
But I know now I have to let go
Now I see, I'm way in over my head
It's not like I don't try
I'm giving this all I can give
Is this how it goes down?
Take a look at the life that we live!
Just breathe
