Stress
GROUNDBREAKING Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's ticking me away
I wake up to my empty eyes
I do this every day
And it's all weighing down
The stress of everything
Holding on to all this pain
And I don't think I'll make it out
I'm just another soul like you
And I'm sorry I'm not always right there
To be there for me and here for you
And I know that I'm not making this easy
But my brain is always moving fast
And I'm stressed out whenever I wake up
And I question all my life again
Life is moving slow
I can't get through my days
I stare into the ceiling
And I question everything
Well on to the next show
Or the next song that I make
Sometimes there's no time
To even find anxiety
Ups and downs
I'm never in the calm between
It's always too high or too low
That's the place that I chose
And the worst part is I'll never go
And I know that I'm not making this easy
But my brain is always moving fast
And I'm stressed out whenever I wake up
And I question all my life again
And I'm trying not to tear all my hair out
When I'm always stuck in these extremes
Maybe one day I can figure a way out
But for now I'm stuck inside my dreams
I'm stressed out
I'm stressed out
I'm stressed out
I'm stressed out
I'm stressed out
I'm stressed out
I'm stressed out
I'm stressed out
I don't know
Why everything is moving slow
Everything
Weighs me down but I just can't let go
And I know that I'm not making this easy
But my brain is always moving fast
And I'm stressed out whenever I wake up
And I question all my life again
And I'm trying not to tear all my hair out
When I'm always stuck in these extremes
Maybe one day I can figure myself out
But for now I'm stuck inside my dreams
