(Verse 1) There’s a clock on the wall but it don’t move right Every little thought keeps me up all night Replaying conversations like a worn-out tape Trying to find the moment where it all changed I read between lines that were never there Build disasters outta thin air And every “what if” turns into smoke Till I can’t even breathe through the lump in my throat (Pre-Chorus) And I know, I know I’m making mountains outta dust But my mind don’t know when enough is enough (Chorus) I’m spiraling, circling the drain again Fighting battles in my head I’ll never win Heart racing like a train off track One small thought and it all comes back Static in my veins, thunder in my chest Trying so hard just to let my mind rest But the silence gets loud when the lights go dim And I’m stuck overthinking everything again (Verse 2) I swear I try to shut it down But the ghosts get louder when no one’s around Every memory hits like a hurricane And I keep dancing with the worst-case pain Maybe they’re tired of hearing me break Maybe I’m too much for people to take So I smile real hard and say I’m alright While my mind starts another fight tonight (Pre-Chorus) And I know, I know Not every shadow means goodbye But tell that to the chaos in my mind (Chorus) I’m spiraling, circling the drain again Fighting battles in my head I’ll never win Heart racing like a train off track One small thought and it all comes back Static in my veins, thunder in my chest Trying so hard just to let my mind rest But the silence gets loud when the lights go dim And I’m stuck overthinking everything again (Bridge) Maybe tomorrow I’ll breathe easier Maybe the weight won’t pull so hard But tonight my thoughts are a wildfire Burning circles through my heart (Final Chorus) Yeah I’m spiraling, barely hanging onto sleep Drowning in the noise inside of me Trying to separate truth from fear But every echo sounds so clear Static in my veins, shaking to the bone Surrounded by people but feeling alone And the hardest part is I can’t pretend I’m not overthinking everything again
