Overwhelmed, overworked, overpaid
I’m on top of the world sitting pretty on a stack

But the static still cracks in my veins
At the bottom of the universe
I’m feeling all the weight

All the guilt of this

The gods all suffer silently

I’m sorry for my obsession with attention
Bbsus2Bbsus2
I have ungodly fear of rejection

My apprehension and objection is the viral infection
