Burn Out Easy
Embracing the Flames: Finding Solace Amidst Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
I can't sleep, my mind is running wild
I struggle to sleep, my thoughts are restless
Like a little baby child I squirm in my seat
I feel vulnerable and uneasy, resembling a helpless child
My head is a mess, I'm full of all this stress
My mind is chaotic, burdened with stress
So I give a little less to everyone I meet
To cope, I withhold some of myself in interactions
I search until I find a little peace of mind
I relentlessly search for inner peace
I got these pills and these poisons help my heart to keep its time
I rely on substances to regulate my emotions and heartbeat
Well I'm no fool I know what I must do, when the thoughts don't make it through
Recognizing the need for change when my thoughts become overwhelming
It's time to up and leave
It's time to leave when challenges become too much
That highway's long, she sings a sinners song
The journey is arduous, accompanied by songs of sin
Keeps me moving on from the people that I need
Escaping from those who depend on me
I hear my mother cry almost every time she's hanging up the line
Witnessing the emotional toll on my mother during our conversations
I'm nowhere within reach
I feel distant, unreachable
I got to keep a moving for I know that if I stop
Continuing to move forward to avoid negative consequences
The buzzards start their swarming pick my bones of all I've got
Fearing the vultures that symbolize challenges stripping me of everything
Remember me as your ragged company
Accepting the image of being a worn and imperfect companion
As If I were the memory that you'd always wanna be
Desiring to be a cherished memory despite imperfections
So say so long, there's no reason to prolong
Acknowledging the need to part ways, as a storm has passed
The storm has come and gone, now the night is coming soon
Embracing the calmness after facing difficulties
I could apologize, at least a million times, but that look in your eyes
Expressing remorse countless times, yet the hurt remains
Is one that I can't bare
Confronting a painful truth reflected in your eyes
So I'll search for retribution from what I've done on my own
Seeking redemption for my actions done independently
As your snakes they start to slither and your stare turns me to stone
Facing criticism and hostility as consequences unfold
Don't follow me to where you want to be
Advising against following my path to avoid undesirable outcomes
Like a moth flocks to the flame
Comparing the attraction to danger like a moth drawn to a flame
I'll burn out easy
Anticipating an inevitable and rapid burnout
