[English]

To report suspicious activity

(You can call 911 for immediate response)

(And there's still no working cure for the virus)

Turn off the TV, it's starting to freak me

Out it's so loud, it's like my ears are bleeding

What am I feeling? Can't look at the ceiling

Light is so bright, it's like I'm over-heating

This mind isn't mine, who am I to judge?

Oh, I should be fine, but it's all too much

I get overwhelmed so easily

My anxiety creeps inside of me

Makes it hard to breathe

What's come over me?

Feels like I'm somebody else

I get overwhelmed so easily

My anxiety keeps me silent

When I try to speak

What's come over me?

Feels like I'm somebody else

I get overwhelmed

All of these faces who don't know what space is

And crowds are shut down, I'm over-stimulated

Nobody gets it, say I'm too sensitive

I can't listen 'cause I'm eyeing the exits

This mind isn't mine, who am I to judge?

Oh, I should be fine, but it's all too much

I get overwhelmed so easily

My anxiety creeps inside of me

Makes it hard to breathe

What's come over me?

Feels like I'm somebody else

I get overwhelmed so easily

My anxiety keeps me silent

When I try to speak

What's come over me?

Feels like I'm somebody else

I get overwhelmed

I get overwhelmed

(To report suspicious activity)

(You can call 911 for immediate response)

(And there's still no working cure for the virus)

I should be fine, but it's all too much

I should be fine, but I'm not (not)

I get overwhelmed so easily

My anxiety creeps inside of me

Makes it hard to breathe

What's come over me?

Feels like I'm somebody else

I get overwhelmed so easily

Keeps me silent (dkeeps me silent)

What's come over me?

Somebody, somebody else

I get overwhelmed
