[Verse 1]
I lie awake at night and think about how I don’t sleep enough
Procrastinate and then complain, perfect the pressure ‘til I pop
Get bored of good habits
Get close enough to catching up and then turn manic
Obsess over stupid shit and it makes me sick
(yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
So break it down
How much more can I bend ‘til I
Lose myself
Sprinting in slow motion
It’s getting hard to breathe
Smoke’s all that I can see
Inside it’s third degree
The way I’m burning myself out
[Verse 2]
Yeah I’ve been “doing great”, but work’s been hell, it’s all give no take
Followed the lines, kept it inside, but now i’m worried that I
Wasted my energy gave up all of me to chase someone else’s dream
You know what I mean?
(yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
So break it down
How much more can I bend ‘til I
Lose myself
Sprinting in slow motion
It’s getting hard to breathe
Smoke’s all that I can see
Inside it’s third degree
The way I’m burning myself out
[Bridge]
Exercise, therapy, focus on your breathing
Meditate, mindfulness, go and find some meaning
Valium, klonopin, whatever keeps you sleeping
Roll down the windows before you start screaming
Fake a smile, take a drink, always play it safely
Try to buy some happy with the money that you’re making
Live, laugh, love and work ‘til you’re 80
Wait, stop, breathe…
[Chorus]
Break it down
How much more can I bend ‘til I
Lose myself
Sprinting in slow motion
It’s getting hard to breathe
Smoke’s all that I can see
Inside it’s third degree
The way I’m burning myself out
