[Theme: Thoughts you don’t invite, don’t believe, but still hear.]
[Intro]
Yeah…
Why you always show up when I’m tired?
[Verse 1]
Intrusive thoughts knock loud when the lights go low
Say things I don’t believe but I still hear ‘em though
“Quit now,” “you’re fake,” “they’d be fine without you”
Smile in public, panic in the bathroom
Mind plays clips I never asked to see
Every regret on a cracked HD
I don’t wanna think this, I don’t mean that
But the thought still hits like a cheap shot jab
I pray, then doubt, then pray again
Say I’m good but I’m not convinced
I know the truth but fear twists it
Turns a whisper into a sentence
[Pre-Chorus]
They ain’t facts but they feel real
That’s the part that cuts the deepest
[Chorus]
Intrusive, they ain’t me but they sound like me
Sayin’ things I’d never say out loud to me
I don’t wanna die, I just wanna breathe
But my mind keeps testin’ the worst-case scene
Intrusive, they lie with confidence
Hit when I’m weak, then call it sense
I don’t agree but I still hear it
I hate that voice — yeah, that’s intrusive
[Verse 2]
They question my worth, my faith, my place
Put a mirror up and spit in my face
Tell me love’s temporary, joy’s pretend
Say, “You’ll mess this up like you did back then”
They show up quiet, then get bold
When I’m broke, exhausted, feelin’ old
Try to convince me I’m one mistake
Away from losin’ everything
I don’t act on it, but I feel ashamed
Like thinkin’ it means I’m to blame
But thoughts ain’t sins and fear ain’t truth
Still feels like guilt when they hit you
[Chorus]
Intrusive, they ain’t me but they sound like me
Sayin’ things I’d never say out loud to me
I don’t wanna die, I just wanna breathe
But my mind keeps testin’ the worst-case scene
Intrusive, they lie with confidence
Hit when I’m weak, then call it sense
I don’t agree but I still hear it
I hate that voice — yeah, that’s intrusive
[Bridge]
Thoughts ain’t commands
Fear ain’t a plan
I don’t gotta do what my brain demands
[Outro]
You’re loud…
But you’re not in charge.
