It’s .. 4A M [Verse 1] Not ..this again …. [pause] Some days i feel normal till the switch gets hit Then my own brain starts fillin blanks that never fit I been poppin feelings not the pills i swear Every little maybe turns to proof in there One little pause turns into thirty scenes One wrong look grows a hundred different meanings By the time the truth gets ready to begin My own mind already picked who wins [Pre-Chorus] One more thought i cant erase One more doubt i gotta chase By the time the truth gets here My own mind already made the case [Chorus] Im just tryna make it out my head Out my head out my head My own mind keeps finishin conversations That were never said Im just tryna make it out my head Out my head out my head If my own mind keeps lyin to me How do i know what to believe [Verse | E3 male vocals with intimate close-mic vocals, warm breathy tone, smooth mixed voice, emotionally restrained delivery, conversational verses, soaring melodic hooks, soft falsetto accents, delicate vibrato, vulnerable storytelling, modern R&B phrasing, layered harmonies, polished studio production, sounds like singing directly to one person in a quiet room, sadness carried with hope rather than anger, cinematic intimacy] lovins.... [slight panic in voice] she took 20 minutes to respond [calmer but still overthinking] my friends say shes prolly busy, its wasn't that long i know there right and its only my mind [inner panic, distrust] but what if not, it could really be bad this time [reflective, close-mic, tired emotional, drained] text bubbles cause me stress one change in cadence makes me a mess i get defensive when im not even fighting and attack when it was just wrong lighting [Pre-Chorus] One more thought i cant erase One more doubt i gotta chase By the time the truth gets here My own mind already made the case [chorus] Im just tryna make it out my head Out my head out my head im seeing things that arnt really there all from one sideways stair Im just tryna make it out my head Out my head out my head If my own mind keeps lyin to me will i ever know if can get free [Verse — mid-low tenor, raspy weathered texture, vocal fry, chest-forward gravel, melodic talking over singing, emotional cracks, close-mic intimate, every line sounds survived] How am I supposed to make it out my head? Every word they whisper got me questioning instead [voice tightens] Every look they give, every shoulder turning cold Feels like every scar I carry's finally taking hold [breath, drained] I'm exhausted from assuming every silence means the worst Drowning in my thoughts while my confidence disperses [quieter, cracked] Wish I knew the difference between danger and my fears [shadowed background vocal underneath] 'Cause trauma got me hearing echoes nobody else can hear [deep low-mid male vocal][mumble rap][slurred phrasing][melted syllables][lazy pocket control][phrase spillover][hanging behind beat][thought-stream delivery][conversational rap][tight rap pockets][double bounce cadence switches][effortless delivery][low-energy confidence][rap first][melody used sparingly] [Pre] One more thought I can't erase One more doubt I gotta chase By the time the truth gets here My own mind already made the case [Verse] Get out my head... go where? The visions in my mind I see too clear My imagination got the whole world aiming here Turnin fragments into enemies appearing everywhere It's the war in my head It's the war in my heart Will my thoughts kill me if I step outside? If it's all in my head I'm sorry Can't separate the truth from you Rose. [Hook] I'm just tryna make it out my head Out my head out my head My own mind keeps finishin conversations that were never said I'm just tryna make it out my head Out my head out my head If my own mind keeps lyin to me How do I know what to believe
