Be Here Be Well is a song about a girl living with anxiety in an urban setting. She's constantly being beaten down by her environment and others, but knows eventually she'll see others and herself lifted up and find peace.

lyrics

Be Here Be Well

Light fills,
The cracks in her soul,
Be here be well,
Time kills,
The emptiness of space,
Find it here oh,

The city sleeps on and off,
She shuts it down from all the talk,
The neon floats into space,
Holding strong she dreams of a new place,

Someday you’ll be,
Watching watching them,
Find some peace,
Holding holding them,

Tired eyes,
The thought of being,
Born wild and free,
Vicious minds,
That lead them to the well,
While they drown,

The city sleeps on and off,
She shuts it down from all the talk,
The neon floats into space,
Holding strong she dreams of a new place,

Someday you’ll be,
Watching watching them,
Find some peace,
Holding holding them,
Break and release,
Trying and trying and trying and trying

B. The moment bleeds into two,
The crowd then chants “it’s us not you”,
She holds her hand to the sky,
Knowing that she learned how to fly,

Someday you’ll be,
Watching watching them,
Find some peace,
Holding holding them,
Break and release,
Trying and trying and trying and trying
