Staring at the ceiling, I ain't breathing, I ain't sleeping. 00:07

People say I'm overthinking. Like I'm speeding, like I'm tripping. 00:13

I make sure that I stay busy. 00:20

Keep away the monster's in me, 00:23

'cause they shouting, screaming at me through the walls. 00:26

I don't want to feel how I feel right now. 00:34

I'm like half your age, but got so much on my shoulders. 00:37

Don't you notice? 00:44

I'm 15 and out of breath. 00:49

Feels like I'm already dead. 00:52

And it eats me from inside. 00:55

Now I ghost my therapist, told me I need medicine, 01:00

but I've been like this all my life. 01:07

Calling me a psycho, I get it. 01:12

Maybe you are right though, there I said it. 01:15

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Staring at the ceiling, I ain't breathing, I ain't sleeping.

People say I'm overthinking. Like I'm speeding, like I'm tripping.

I make sure that I stay busy.

Keep away the monster's in me,

'cause they shouting, screaming at me through the walls.

I don't want to feel how I feel right now.

I'm like half your age, but got so much on my shoulders.

Don't you notice?

I'm 15 and out of breath.

Feels like I'm already dead.

And it eats me from inside.

Now I ghost my therapist, told me I need medicine,

but I've been like this all my life.

Calling me a psycho, I get it.

Maybe you are right though, there I said it.

Calling me a psycho, I get it.

Calling me a psycho, psycho, psycho, Calling me a psycho, I get it.

Maybe you are right though, there I said it.

Calling me a psycho, I get it.

Calling me a psycho, psycho, psycho.

Maybe I'm killing time.

Maybe I'm screwed up and God damn tired.

Everything is blue like, when does this shit end?

Keep replaying conversations in my head.

You make me play with knives.

Don't know how to talk, I prefer to fight.

I'm a living red flag, but you always knew.

Yes and so what? At least I tell the truth.

I'm 15 and out of breath.

It feels like I'm already dead, and it eats me from inside.

Now I ghost my therapist, told me I need medicine.

But I've been like this all my life.

Calling me a psycho, I get it.

Maybe you are right though. There, I said it.

Calling me a psycho, I get it.

Calling me a psycho, psycho, psycho.

Calling me a psycho, I get it.

Maybe you are right though. There, I said it.

Calling me psycho, I get it.

Calling me a psycho, psycho, psycho.

Without psychos life if boring.

That's the moral of the story.

I'll me shouting, screaming at you through the walls.

So you better run.

You're a psycho.

I know.
