[Pre-Chorus]
I’m running on fumes, on the edge of the line,
One step away from burning out my mind.

[Chorus]
I am so sick and tired of your words from above,
Wait...
Your bullshit speeches about passion and love!
You don’t ask how I am, you just add to the pile
What?
Then tell me to “relax” with that fake-ass smile!
Give me time, give me air, let me fall out of frame,
Burnout!
If you really want to help me, then stop feeding me this game!
Burnout!

[Verse 2]
You say “It’ll be awesome, everything’s on track,”
While my hands won’t stop shaking and my vision fades to black.
You sell me the future like a shiny prize,
But you never see the panic sitting deep behind my eyes.
Every “quick question” is a cut in my day,
Every “got a minute?” takes an hour away.
I’m drowning in requests you call “no big deal,”
And you still dare to ask why I don’t heal!

[Pre-Chorus]
This is not normal, this is not fine,
I need a little space, I need a little time!

[Bridge]
Don’t tell me “it’ll all be great” while you load me with your mess,
Don’t call it “team spirit” when it’s just more stress.
If you want to be kind, then carry some weight,
Do one real thing instead of talking about fate.
Keep your “we’re a family”, keep your LinkedIn glow...
I need less of your story and more letting go.

[Breakdown]
Let me breathe.
Let me stop.
Let me step back...
Before I drop.

[Outro]
I’m not your hero, I’m not your shield,
I’m just a human on a broken field.
So give me room or get away from me,
Before your “everything is perfect” finally finishes me.

[Verse 1] I wake up with a weight sitting on my chest, Another day of people telling me “just do your best.” Boss talk, team talk, same dead sound, No one really cares that I’m breaking down. They love their targets, love their slide decks, Love to call it “family” while they break our necks. They ask “All good?” but they don’t hear “no”, They just need a body in the video! [Pre-Chorus] I’m running on fumes, on the edge of the line, One step away from burning out my mind. [Chorus] I am so sick and tired of your words from above, Wait...
