lyrics

Your mind can’t hold this weight
She won’t come ‘round for you anymore
You’ve made yourself a prisoner
To another one, you’ve become enslaved

But you must know she doesn’t matter
You must know she doesn’t care anymore
You don’t have to feel this way
You don’t have to feel this way

All the people, walking around, passing by you
They’re not talking to you, no they’ll never get to know you, they’re just
Part of your peripheral vision - just a figure
Wonder who they are but know you’ll never know for sure

All it takes is one, so they say, but who are they
They’ll never be stuck in your shoes, they’ll never walk the road alone with you
In a freefall one day; next day, high as heaven
Get me off this see-saw, I don’t need to be a happy hellspawn

Or angry angel
No it’s okay, I’m right as rain

Hyper-detached
Never come back
Suffocated by
Everything and everyone, these sensory overloading times
I just want to be normal for once
I just want my head not to explode
I can’t stop the overstimulation
So I can’t help but watch my distance grow

And yes,
It’s hard
Being on your own
But I love to be alone
This feeling, oil and water
Of needing love with space
Some room between embrace
A balancing act, the plates would fall so hard I know it
It’s all a circus, a whisper in my ear, ‘don’t blow it’
So why now even try, I say
I hate my fucking mind, I say
I hate my fucking mind, I say

Your mind can’t bear this weight
This world won’t stop for you anymore
Don’t make yourself a prisoner
You don’t have to play, by these modern rules

Oh you must know it doesn’t matter
You must know you’ll never be anyone
So you don’t have to feel this way
You don’t have to feel this way
You don’t have to feel this way
You don’t have to be this way
You don’t have to be this way
