[Verse 1]
I wake up already sore
Phone face down on the floor
Another list, another call
Another day that wants it all
My mother says, “Be strong”
My boss says, “Move along”
I smile with my teeth
While I’m cracking underneath
[Pre-Chorus]
Too much, too much
In my hands
Too much, too much
I can’t stand
I keep it in
I keep it small
But it’s pressing through the wall
[Chorus]
boom boom boom
In my ribs tonight
boom boom boom
I’m not all right
Too much, too much
I can’t hold it in
boom boom boom
Let it break my skin
[Verse 2]
Dinner plates and deadlines
Names I owe, lines I rewind
Every “are you okay?”
Feels like one more thing to pay
I fold my hurt in two
Try to make it look new
But the seams keep giving way
And I can’t make them stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Too much, too much
In my chest
Too much, too much
Needs to rest
I hold my breath
I bite my tongue
But the storm is already sprung
[Chorus]
boom boom boom
In my ribs tonight
boom boom boom
I’m not all right
Too much, too much
I can’t hold it in
boom boom boom
Let it break my skin
[Bridge]
If I fall apart
Let me fall clean
Let me be more than
What they need from me
I’ve been brave too long
I’ve been torn in two
If I scream tonight
It’s because I have to
[Final Chorus]
boom boom boom
In my ribs tonight
boom boom boom
I’m not all right
Too much, too much
I can’t hold it in
boom boom boom
Let it break my skin
boom boom boom
Say my name, stay near
boom boom boom
I’m finally here
Too much, too much
I made it through
boom boom boom
I belong to me, too
