Insane
S.O.B. Lyrics

I know you're feeling low I know you're feeling sorrow
I understand that you're feeling down, and that you're filled with sadness

I know you're feeling like you can't make it to tomorrow
I understand that you're feeling hopeless about the future, and you feel like giving up

I know you got some bruises know you got some pain
I know that you've gone through some tough times, and you're dealing with emotional and physical hurt

The people all around you they just make you feel insane
The people around you are causing you frustration to the point that you feel crazy

And everything is crushin' you got pressure in your chest
You're feeling overwhelmed, and it's affecting you physically with chest pains

You wake up everyday and try to do your best
You're still trying to do your best to overcome the obstacles and struggles that you're facing

But everyday you wake up your motivation's less
You're losing energy and drive with each passing day

The people said they love you all got up and left
People whom you thought were close to you abandoned you and left you feeling deserted

And now you're feelin' lonely you wanna say hold me
You're feeling isolated and you need someone to hold you and comfort you

You're looking in the mirror like where the fuck's the old me
You're frustrated because you feel like you've lost the person you used to be

I know that you burden yourself with all the blame
You're taking all the responsibility and blaming yourself for the bad things that happened to you

I know you're feeling shame and you're tired of the games
You're feeling embarrassed and humiliated, and you're sick of the cycle of troubles you face

I don't have the answers I wanna take it all away
I can't solve your problems but I wish I could make them disappear for you

I want you to mean it when you say that you're okay
I want you to be honest when you say you're fine, rather than hiding your pain

I know how you feel because I'm the same
I can relate to your struggles because I've experienced similar pains

Insane
We're really struggling, to the point that we feel a little out of our minds

I spent my life running from myself from oppression
I've been avoiding confronting my own problems and have been oppressed in different ways throughout my life

From depression from confession
I've suffered from depression and avoided confiding in others about my issues

Now I'm here and stuck second guessing
Now that I'm in a difficult spot, I'm constantly second guessing myself and my actions

You're undressing I'm obsessing
You're becoming more vulnerable while I become more fixated on my own issues and insecurities

Wishin' that I could stop stressing
I want to be able to rid myself of this intense stress

I can talk about myself for hours
I can talk about my own issues and feelings for extended periods of time

But I can't love myself for an hour
Despite talking a lot about loving myself, it's difficult for me to actually do so

I build up my walls like I'm living in a tower
To protect myself, I put up walls like a castle that keep others away from me

I gotta do it everyday to feel like I have power
I need to keep up my walls to feel powerful, motivated and protect my vulnerability

I survived suicide and I found my purpose
Despite wanting to die, I lived on and realized what my true purpose was in life

They say it gets better so why do I feel worthless?
Despite being told that things get better, I still feel worthless and have low self-esteem

I have done a lot of shows so why am I still nervous?
Even though I've performed a lot, I still get anxious and afraid

God keeps teachin' me why am I not learnin'?
Despite constantly being taught by God or the universe, I still don't learn my lesson

I just beat myself up cause I am never perfect
I constantly put myself down because I can never be perfect

I shut everybody out and act like I'm not hurtin'
I keep everyone at a distance, like I'm not affected by their actions, but this is far from the truth

My whole life I was a burden,But I am not I am nothing but a person
I've felt like I was a burden my entire life, but I realize now that I'm human and that's okay

Yeah we're the same we're insane got a fire for a brain
We're very much the same, the way we think and feel is intense and overwhelming

Mental illnesses for days and we're filled with fuckin' rage
We have been battling with mental health issues for a while, and it's caused a lot of anger and frustration in us

Like a bull in the cage the world's in our way
We feel trapped in our own lives, like a caged bull, and the world outside is causing us more difficulty

I got a lot to say and we don't fuckin' play
We have a lot to say about our struggles, and we're not playing around or being dramatic

We hope and we pray that this pain will go away
We are deeply hoping that the pain we're feeling will eventually fade away

It stays and it prays on our deepest fear everyday
The pain doesn't go away, it lingers and affects our daily lives and our deepest fears

Wrap the caution around my body you're in danger
We have to protect ourselves and be cautious because we're in a dangerous place mentally and emotionally

I look in the mirror like I'm lookin' at a stranger
We don't recognize ourselves in the mirror because of all the pain and anger we're dealing with

I don't wanna change her I just want some love
We don't want to change ourselves entirely, we just want someone to give us love and care

I don't feel enough our biggest enemies are us
We often feel like we're not enough, our biggest issues and enemies are actually ourselves

And we bluff we act tough cause our lives are pretty rough
We try to act tough and hide our issues because we're dealing with a lot in our lives

Got the keys to our cuff so why do we feel stuck?
We have ways out of our struggles, but we still feel trapped and unable to move past our problems

I just grit my teeth I don't ask for help
We often try to deal with our issues on our own without asking for help

No one really knows how many times I fell
We experience a lot of failure and pain, but no one truly knows how much we've gone through

The bullies in my life will never know how it felt
The people who've bullied and hurt us will never understand how much their actions have hurt us

Burned the fuckin' cards to the hand I was dealt
We've destroyed whatever cards life has dealt us, and we're ready to start anew

I gotta love myself cause I only got myself
We need to love ourselves because at the end of the day, we only have ourselves

You look up to me but you don't love yourself but you should
Even if others look up to us, if they don't love themselves, we encourage them to do so because it's important
