Too Much
The Rudiments / Jack Kevorkian and the Suicide Machines Lyrics

When the extra weight hits my brain I feel like I'm going insane
When overwhelming thoughts and emotions flood my mind, I feel like I'm losing my mind.

That's when the hand of god cuts my cord,
It feels like a divine hand is severing me from reality.

That's when I feel like Jah the Lord
In that moment, I feel like I have the power and authority of a supreme deity.

My heart is pumping blood into my head,
My heartbeat races and my blood rushes through my body, but it feels like it's all going to my head.

And I feel just like a thousand pounds of lead
The weight of my thoughts and emotions feels so heavy that I can barely move or function.

And the right half of my body has gone numb¡­
The overwhelming stress and anxiety has caused half of my body to become numb and unresponsive.

I think it's too much, a little too much¡­
I realize that the stress and anxiety is too much for me to handle and it's becoming overwhelming.

When the monster inside my head is telling me I'm better off dead
The negative thoughts and emotions in my mind are telling me that I would be better off dead than struggling through life.

That's when my mind's turned upside down
The overwhelming emotions and thoughts have inverted my perspective and made everything seem hopeless and futile.

That's when you wish you weren't around
The negative thoughts make me wish that I didn't exist and could escape from my own mind.

My head is telling me that it's not right,
My rational thoughts tell me that these negative emotions and thoughts are not healthy or normal.

Your face is such an unfamiliar sight
I can't even recognize the people around me because my mind is so consumed with negativity.

And when I'm flying high as a fucking kite,
At times when I'm under the influence of drugs or alcohol, these negative thoughts and emotions feel even more intense.

Take another drag to kill the pain of your meaningless existence in this godforsaken place,
Sometimes I turn to substance abuse as a way to cope with my feelings of emptiness and despair in this world.

where everyone's a sellout but they're also a fucking burnout,
Living in a world where everyone seems to be losing themselves to addiction or apathy only exacerbates my own negative emotions.

they thought it would be the best way to enhance your state of mind
People turn to drugs or alcohol because they believe it will improve their mental state, but it often has the opposite effect.

See, I went home and I turned on the t.v. 'cause I had the time
As a way to distract myself from my negative thoughts and emotions, I turn to mindless activities like watching TV.

I look at all this bullshit, all this muggin' and crime
Watching the news only reinforces my negative outlook on the world and makes me feel more hopeless.

War, death, disease, famine what's it all worth!
All the sadness and suffering in the world makes me question the value and purpose of life.

I started to lose it by the time I started losin' my mind
The more I dwell on these negative thoughts and emotions, the more I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality.

So I got to the Jah, and I got to the J.
As a way to cope, I turn to marijuana and other drugs.

I get to the spliff, and I got in his way
I use marijuana as a way to escape from my negative thoughts and emotions.

The same frame of mind! (Repeat 3x)
No matter what I do, I can't escape from the negative thoughts and emotions that plague my mind.

I think it's too much, a little too much¡­
Overall, I feel like the negativity and stress in my life is becoming too much for me to handle.

I think it's too much for me!
It's clear that I need help and support to cope with my negative thoughts and emotions.
