Overthoughts

I'm drowning in the brown while I'm caught in my thoughts

Serving time in my mind and lost in the sauce

Constantly wonder who listens, wonder even more why

Do my truths fascinate you? Would you rather hear lies?

Thoughts like these weigh heavy on my mind

While I'm locked in here, barely peeping through the blinds

Wanna shake y'all awake but scared to open the canopy

Love when y'all relate but hate too much transparency

I wanna shine but can't stand the spotlight

Peep who y'all praise to see who to be not like

The constant feeling that I'm doing this wrong

That I don't belong, got me so far gone

Along with my lust for life

Wanna say what's real but ignorant shit y'all like

Think the best y'all ever had, now think a bit greater

I pray to be successful, much sooner than later

(Chorus x2)

I be overthinking

Undersleeping, undereating

But I'm always drinking

Feel like I'm drowning, going down

Deeper I'm further sinking

Into my thoughts, I'm getting caught up

Swear I must be trippin

I'm always overthinking

Stuck in my head, swear I am my own tumor

If I ever get a therapist they better wear a scuba

That boy a buoy when his head above water

But struggle when I'm under, tryna' hold my breath longer

Always emerge just to feel a bit stronger

And cherish that I'm breathing so a breath is never squandered

Loose lips sink ships, drinks getting me wavy

I'm telling y'all too much, ya prolly think I'm crazy

Till Jam say, "You swear you so different

You ain't special for thinkin' like this, tell me who isn't?"

Tell me I'm not trippin', all this baggage, need a vacay

Maybe next Friday, top flight, like I'm Day-Day

Everybody got opinions but their motives obscure

Can't get they life right but tell you how to live yours

When you just want exposure, they all wanna expose ya

If I never open up, I'll never need no closure

(Chorus x2)
