lyrics

A strange and lonely little place
The room between my ears feels like its walls are closing in
I teeter back and forth; most days I’m hopeful and in love but not this moment
You wouldn’t know it

Afraid and maybe lacking sleep
I tinker with my chemistry, tonight I’ll switch to tea
A fleeting sadness hovers, I rarely draw the shutters but I’m home sick
You wouldn’t know it

Most of time I’m doing just fine
But I’m offline

I’m under water and I’m out of breath
Stuck in quicksand, facing death
I feel my heart beating out of my chest
But I’m not dying, no I’m just stuck in my head

The pain is an imaginary friend
Gaslit my attic, got me spinning to no end
Selfishly my mind made this to replace lost experience I might’ve known 90 years ago

So here I lie with just my thoughts
Beating me up and running all these scary plots
I shut it off when you’re around, ziplock the feeling way deep down in my pocket
You wouldn’t know it

Most of time I’m doing just fine
But I’m offline

I’m under water and I’m out of breath
Stuck in quicksand, facing death
I feel my heart beating out of my chest
But I’m not dying, no I’m just stuck in my head

You always ride it out
Less intense the next time than the last
It’s best to sit it down
Laugh at it and watch it slowly pass

I’m under water and I’m out of breath
Stuck in quicksand, facing death
I feel my heart beating out of my chest
But I’m not dying, no I’m just stuck in my head

I feel my heart beating out of my chest
But I’m not dying, no I’m just stuck in my head
