I start this off staring at a blank page, an open office document, a blinking cursor
passing days without a single word.
_ Some say it's absurd, like I followed along a stream of words [Cm] unsaid, choosing not to
cast my [Bb] net.
But I spent so long questioning myself, if this isn't right, then does that mean I failed?
[Eb] Will my melodies ever live up?
Will my metaphors be profound enough?
Will I ever outdo myself?
The ceiling gets higher and higher, it's harder and harder to shatter, and when I fall, I
fall worse than I ever did before, evaluating the damage.
No, I just don't understand it.
Conflicted by the very air I breathe, a love with hatred laced between.
You can [Bb] see it in my _ [Eb] eyes, the child's spark light up the night.
[F] Constant search for approval, suffocated by [Eb] refusal, devouring my skull, but never feeling full.
[Bb] _
Oh dear, I don't wanna be a [Eb] burden.
Could you please be a little [Gm] more concerned with the _ overactive mind of a believer, [Eb] the
toxic thoughts of an _ _ [Bb] overachiever.
Oh dear, if only you could feel [Eb] it, the crippling fear of being deterred, and [Gm]
you can't touch
the heat of this fever, [Eb] the toxic thoughts of an _ _ [Bb] overachiever.
I _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
start this [Bb] off a little confused, writer's block doesn't exist, it's not a word I'm supposed
to use because it's all in my mind, a parasite I'm supposed to find, but [Ebm] sometimes, well
most times, it's so hard to define.
[Bb] So I pour a couple drinks, getting drunk on gasoline, [Eb] fire pulses in my veins, I'm sick
of waiting for the day that [G] courage overtakes my brain for someone to say [Gm] it's okay, I've
lived my whole life [Eb] afraid, it's time for me to be brave.
[Bb] To embrace a force that's so dark and unknown, because [Eb] no great [Gm] adventurer has a paved path
to roam, they pave as they go, disappointed gazers sleeping close in breadcrumb traces,
I'm not taking the bait, [Eb] let them rot in their [Bb]
place.
I deserve to be alright, _ _ [Eb] _
I deserve to sleep at night, [Cm] I'm my closest friend, I remind [A] myself
again, [Eb] better treat her well, cause [Gm] she's with me till the [Bb] end.
Oh dear, I don't wanna be a [Eb] burden, but could you please be a little [Gm] more concerned with
the _ overactive mind of a believer, [Eb] the toxic thoughts of an _ _ [Bb] overachiever.
Oh dear, if only you could feel [Eb] it, the crippling fear of being deserted, [Gm]
you can't touch the
heat of this fever, [Eb] the toxic thoughts of an _ overachiever.

_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [Gm] _ _ Sometimes I forget the feeling of [Bb] every single nerve tingling better than any lover's touch,
I've created tears of pain and burns of lust, I've created a forest, a safe place for myself
that others have found, some attempt to destroy and others feed the ground, _ fertilize my mind
with melodies and rhymes, a sorcerer of time take you [Gm] back to the night when you pondered
your death, when somebody left, when you lie awake broken cause your head is unkept and
let [Eb] me remind you, that everything is [Bb] temporary, you and I are temporary, in this feeling that's
[Eb] so scary, someday you'll realize that thoughts so heavy don't mean you're [Gm] unsteady, but that
you're only getting ready [F] to say nice to me, you, to [Bb] somebody you never knew, _ _ _ _ _ you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
