Lyrics

It's tiring

Expressing exhaustion or weariness

With my own foot on my neck

Feeling constrained or pressured, possibly self-imposed

It's hard to grow forward

Struggling to progress in personal growth

When my body means business

Suggesting internal conflict between personal and professional aspects

I've got my ear to the ground

Being attentive but to the wrong sources or influences

'Cept, it's the wrong one

Indicating a misdirection or misunderstanding

Searching for reason of sound

Searching for meaning or purpose in one's actions

To bring me back

Seeking something to ground or stabilize oneself

Down

Feeling pulled down or demotivated

The elevation is making me crazy

Experiencing overwhelming emotions due to success or achievement

I'm sick but can't sit still

Struggling with restlessness despite being unwell

I've got a belt 'round my sternum

Symbolizing a physical restriction or constraint

My womb's still burnin'

Conveying emotional turmoil or unresolved issues

But I

Introducing a contrast or contradiction

I've got this will

Asserting personal determination or strength of character

I've got this will

Reaffirming the presence of personal willpower

Ooo

Repeating a vocal expression conveying emotion or intensity

Ooo

Ooo

This house I've lived in

Referring to a symbolic or literal dwelling place

All of my years

Highlighting the duration of personal history within the current situation

Started crumbling around me

Describing a crumbling or deteriorating state

In need of repair

Expressing a need for attention or care

Secrets in these walls

Implies hidden or private matters

The doctors can hear

Suggesting the visibility to professionals of personal struggles

While I lay and wait

Waiting while dealing with internal turmoil

Choking back

Struggling with and suppressing fear

Fear

Experiencing anxiety or unease

The renovations are making me crazy

Feeling overwhelmed by changes or improvements

I'm sick but can't sit still

Experiencing restlessness despite being unwell

I've got a belt 'round my sternum

Symbolizing a physical restriction or constraint

My womb's still burnin'

Conveying emotional turmoil or unresolved issues

But I

Introducing a contrast or contradiction

I've got this will

Asserting personal determination or strength of character

I've got this will

Reaffirming the presence of personal willpower

What do we do

Pose a series of questions about self-trust and resilience

When you can't trust you

-

To carry you through

-

To carry you through

-

What do we do

-

When you can't trust you

-

To carry you through

-

To carry you through

-

What do we do

-

When you can't trust you

-

To carry you through

-

To carry you through

-

Ooo

Repeating a vocal expression conveying emotion or intensity
