Hook 1 (2x):
Somebody hear my signal of distress
Somebody come and help alleviate this stress
Unremarkable but doing my best
I just need some time to wrap my head around this mess
Verse 1:
Always unremarkable, that's how the world makes me feel
Got too many hands pulling on my steering wheel
False freedom, might as well be riding shotgun
As everybody steers me through Knievel long jumps
The only thing expected from my hands is 2 and 10
Cuz everything less than a 10 is just a 2 to them
They say "do your best", their eyes tell you "don't bother"
Expectations higher than parents in soap operas
So what am I to do? Can't let my people down
Gotta cross oceans for 'em even if I drown
And you know that I'd do that shit with zero hesitation
But it would it be too much to show me some appreciation
I know I stumble through my missions, can't do it quick
But I can take the bruises so I don't break these eggs
Yet if I break one, I'm treated like I broke them all
It's so tiring, might as well just take the fall so
Repeat hook 1
Hook 2:
I need some time, just a minute or two
Don't need to put me in a leash for me to journey with you
My loyalty is infinite for everyone who's worth the time
But don't push me to a self-destructive state of mind
I can only take so much before it bends my psyche
Psychopathic tendencies or psychedelic coping's likely
Don't gotta psychoanalyze me for a turn out
I'm one step away from a burnout
I can only take so much before it bends my psyche
Psychopathic tendencies or psychedelic coping's likely
Don't gotta psychoanalyze me for a turn out
I'm one step away from a burnout
Verse 2:
I never did nobody wrong
But the people in my life make it difficult to get along
I'm always on the giving end of favours
Yet always on receiving end of being called a failure
And a fake just because I take a middle ground
But when things are getting real, they never stick around
Maybe it's exactly 'cause I'm fake
That I never know when to abandon ship until it's too late
All alone, I turn to music
Resonating melodies make me wanna try it too
Cobble up these stories into something moving
And if it's not, the act is still therapeutic
Turn my life to art, is that my only way out?
The only way I'm going to be heard amidst the chaos
When things are spiraling out of control
And we can't speak person to person, make it soul to soul
Repeat hooks 1 and 2
