Got a hundred tabs open inside of my brain Running on the tracks but I’m missing the train Staring at the wall with a mountain to do But my feet are stuck in concrete and glue They tell you to focus, they tell you to try But the engine is smoking and the well has run dry You’re carrying the guilt of the things left undone Feeling like a battle that can never be won. [Pre-Chorus] But listen to me now, put the heavy load down You don’t gotta be the fastest one in the town Take a deep breath, let the engine just cool You ain’t breaking the law, you ain’t breaking the rule. [Chorus] It’s okay to stop! It’s okay to cry! It’s okay to lie there and watch the world go by! When the noise in your head is a deafening sound You’re allowed to just rest your back on the ground! Drop the mask, drop the shame, let the battery charge You don’t always gotta be living so large If you’re burnt to the wick and you’re out of supply It’s okay to lie there and watch the world go by! [Verse 2] People call it lazy, but they don’t have a clue About the invisible war that is raging in you The executive function is totally fried You’re fighting a storm that is trapped on the inside You forgot to reply, you lost the damn keys You’re begging your mind for a moment of peace So stop fighting the current, stop fighting the wave You don’t gotta be perfect, you don’t gotta be brave. [Pre-Chorus] Listen to me now, put the heavy load down You don’t gotta be the fastest one in the town Take a deep breath, let the engine just cool You ain’t breaking the law, you ain’t breaking the rule. [Chorus] It’s okay to stop! It’s okay to cry! It’s okay to lie there and watch the world go by! When the noise in your head is a deafening sound You’re allowed to just rest your back on the ground! Drop the mask, drop the shame, let the battery charge You don’t always gotta be living so large If you’re burnt to the wick and you’re out of supply It’s okay to lie there and watch the world go by! [Bridge] (Beat builds up, clapping and stomping) Breathe in. Breathe out. Let the world spin around without you. Breathe in. Breathe out. You are enough, yeah, I promise it’s true. [Guitar Solo] (High energy, uplifting acoustic solo) [Chorus] Yeah, it’s okay to stop! It’s okay to cry! It’s okay to lie there and watch the world go by! When the noise in your head is a deafening sound You’re allowed to just rest your back on the ground! Drop the mask, drop the shame, let the battery charge You don’t always gotta be living so large If you’re burnt to the wick and you’re out of supply It’s okay to lie there and watch the world go by! [Outro] Watch the world go by. Just rest tonight. You’re gonna be alright. (Fade out with a single acoustic strum)
