[Verse 1 - Male, irritated] Hey Stop the noise Alphabetical, list of my problems, not a fable, no Pathological, readin' the labels, feel unstable, so Time to listen, time to zip it, close the file now My condition, non-remission, been a while now Lack of interest, what’s the visit? No desire now I'm kinda twisted, so keep your distance from the fire now Yeah, see I’m inventive, but stuck in bed, yeah, you ain't know? Well then I'm offended, let’s check the records, here we go, yeah I went from functional to barely breathin' Got a brain with open browser windows, never closin' My therapist, she tells me that I'm strong and I should own it But I just leave her words there on the floor beside the self-loathing Yeah, yeah, mental state, where's my mental state? Catalogued a dozen ways my own machinery can break That means I obsessively will run a thought until it aches That means I might take a simple choice and see a world of stakes Ruminating, filled with data I can’t place Do the same things, if I don't, I'm overwhelmed with space Thoughts are racing, build a case and then erase It’s so draining, let’s move on to something else, or wait— I'm in the world, but they don't even know it Like I'm a librarian and trying not to show it I come out of nowhere, they don't even notice The text is so cold you would think that I wrote it I'm under a roof, but the ceiling isn’t holdin' I got an umbrella for when my mind’s imploding You got to admit it, I'm very devoted To building this prison, but they don’t ever help me, so I… [Hook - Female Vocals] I stack these volumes just to hide my face I feel the paper weighing on this place I ought to burn the pages, leave no trace But I'm afraid to see the empty space Tell them how I feel, but the ink won't change Tell them how I feel, but they rearrange Loosen up my grip, they say that’s not the way Filing, filing, filing, filing, filing, hey, stop the noise! Ayy, yeah Filing, filing, filing, filing, filing, hey (Yeah), stop the noise! Woo, yeah Filing, filing, filing, filing, filing, hey (Yeah), stop the noise! [Verse 2 - Male, anxious] I hate when they debate if I'm getting better I'm so disconnected I can’t even read my own letters, ever Don't answer enough of the calls or show up to functions lately Don't comment enough on the feed to keep the goodwill from fading Let it fade, yeah, let it fade Once it’s all deserted, then you send a text out of nowhere And hope that they embrace it Then the guilt will surface again, it's part of my whole system I don't need advice from my doubts right now End of transmission Shut your mouth, yeah, shut your mouth Better tone it down, turn it out If you make a sound, I’ma change the route Funny how they be wanting out, I just want a house That’s not so loud Man, the kid is wild, pretty wild, true I'm kinda phony but don't really show it I keep it together but have no control, it’s A runaway engine, I sit in the corner and Talk to myself in a language that’s foreign I think of a line and I have to record it But know if I don’t, I’ll wake up in the morning And question my purpose, always avoidin' I hate to be different but hate to be ordinary, so I… [Hook - Female Vocals] I stack these volumes just to hide my face I feel the paper weighing on this place I ought to burn the pages, leave no trace But I'm afraid to see the empty space Tell them how I feel, but the ink won't change Tell them how I feel, but they rearrange Loosen up my grip, they say that’s not the way Filing, filing, filing, filing, filing, hey, stop the noise! [Spoken, Grumbling through gritted teeth] Mondays are the worst. Grinding 9 to 5 (This is fine.)
