Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's an evil figurine in my brain
Winding me up and pulling on my strings
Like I'm some kind of paper doll
Lacking backbone made of elasticity
Turns out, it's just me
[Verse 2]
Stretching myself thin
Breaking my own heart
I'd jump right out if I could
Never out of the woods
I'm stuck with me, after all
I just wish I could shake the burdens off
[Verse 3]
Voice in my head
Need a muzzle 'cause you're way too loud
I'm tired of walking with my head down, down
Hey now, now
You wear me out
Voice in my head
Need a muzzle 'cause you're way too loud
I'm tired of walking under your rain cloud
Hey now, now
You weigh me down
[Verse 4]
It's like there's two of me
Insecurities
Taking up all my brain space
Covered in expectations
I can't even hear myself thinking
What is that about?
Too many chefs in the kitchen
And I'm burning out
I'm running on empty
Feel like I can't breathe
I'd escape myself if I could
Never out of the woods
I'm stuck with me, after all
I just wish I could shake the burdens off
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Voice in my head
Need a muzzle 'cause you're way too loud
I'm tired of walking with my head down, down
Hey now, now
You wear me out
[Verse 6]
Voice in my head
Need a muzzle 'cause you're way too loud
I'm tired of walking under your rain cloud
Hey now, now
You weigh me down
[Verse 7]
Voice in my head
You need a muzzle 'cause you're way too loud
I'm tired of walking with my head down, down
Hey now, now
You wear me out
[Verse 8]
Hey now, now
Hey now
Hey now, now
Hey now
Hey now, now
Hey now
Hey now, now (Ooh)
[Verse 9]
Voice in my head
Need a muzzle 'cause you're way too loud
I'm tired of walking with my head down, down
Hey now, now
You wear me out
[Verse 10]
Voice in my head
Need a muzzle 'cause you're way too loud
I'm tired of walking under your rain cloud
Hey now, now
You weigh me down
[Verse 11]
Tired of walking with my head down, down
Tired of walking with my head down, down
Your rain cloud
Hey now, now
