[Verse 1] Woke up wired, hands shaking like bad reception Coffee tastes like guilt, but I still drink it for direction The sun came up like it had something to prove I stayed feral, stayed sideways, didn’t even move [Verse 2] I'm a carbon smear on the freeway map Too many lanes, not enough trap Sleep through the sirens, wake for the doubt The day don’t ask — it just drags you out [Chorus] Yeah I’m bothered, I’m busted Dry as a bone, barely adjusted Feral and fried, on a half-tank brain Distracted and drifting in too many lanes Barely breathing, yeah—unhinged again [Verse 3] Ate nothing for breakfast but a headline and dread At lunch I sat still and dreamed of my bed There’s a hole in my pocket and one in my gut And I keep tripping over what I never cut [Verse 4] Still dehydrated, still overexposed You blink and I vanish — that’s how it goes Thread’s getting thin where I hold on tight If I let go now, would I feel more right? [Chorus] Yeah I’m bothered, I’m busted Dry as a bone, barely adjusted Feral and fried, on a half-tank brain Distracted and drifting in too many lanes Barely breathing, yeah—unhinged again [Bridge] I wrote my regrets on a gas station napkin Folded it into a paper ghost captain Steered it west through a migraine breeze Said, “Tell the void not to wait up for me” My shadow said, “You always do this part” Then laughed like a car alarm tearing apart I built a shrine from parking stubs and yawns Then drove it off the edge just to see what I was on [Chorus – Final] Still bothered, still busted Heart full of holes, barely trusted Feral and fried, no exit signs Distracted by patterns I pretend are mine Still surviving — but barely aligned
