A minorAm
I don't wanna break down but i'm feeling low
DmDm
Let me sink to the bottom
A minorAm
Air in my lungs keeping me afloat
E7E7
Inside i'm still hollow
Verse:
A minorAm
I know i'm not my thoughts
But my thoughts don't know that yet
DmDm
Sometimes i try to sneak up
On the voice inside my head
A minorAm
I've tried to meditate
Cause they tell me it'll help
E7E7
But the last thing i need is more time alone inside myself
A minorAm
I know i'm not unique
We all got broken brains
DmDm
Culture recently decided being crazy is okay
A minorAm
And now we all can talk about it on our social feeds
A minorAm E7E7
Having a rough day? hashtag mental health awareness week
A minorAm
i know that's progress, we don't have to hide no more
DmDm
But it leaves me wondering why we ain't said this stuff before
A minorAm
Like were we always all crazy and we all just kept quiet
E7E7
Are we on the same page with what we're identifying?
A minorAm
And if crazy's the new normal then it's not that crazy, is it?
DmDm
Cause the word by definition means it sits outside the system
A minorAm
And how can we tell difference between sick and trying to fit in
A minorAm E7E7
And if everybody's crazy, then who's supposed to fix it?
Chorus:
A minorAm
I don't wanna break down but i'm feeling low
DmDm
Let me sink to the bottom
A minorAm
Air in my lungs keeping me afloat
E7E7
Inside i'm still hollow
A minorAm
I don't wanna break down so where do i go?
DmDm
My screams sink to the bottom
A minorAm
Top of my lungs, just an echo
E7E7
Inside i'm still hollow
Verse:
A minorAm
No one told me it could get this bad, this fast
DmDm
Guess we only hear about the struggle after it's passed
A minorAm
Getting easier to open up, share what we've lost
A minorAm E7E7
Good to know i'm not alone but if i'm really being honest
A minorAm
I kinda hope there's something wrong with me
DmDm
I kinda hope this isn't how it's supposed to be, supposed to be
A minorAm
I pray to god it's not normal crying on the floor
E7E7
I don't wanna do this anymore, though
Chorus:
A minorAm
I don't wanna break down but i'm feeling low
DmDm
Let me sink to the bottom
A minorAm
Air in my lungs keeping me afloat
E7E7
Inside i'm still hollow
A minorAm
I don't wanna break down so where do i go?
DmDm
My screams sink to the bottom
A minorAm
Top of my lungs, just an echo
E7E7
Inside i'm still hollow
