Breaking Down by Arkh - Zona

Lyrics

(Verse 1)

I’m sitting here just staring at the wall

Waiting for the ceiling to finally fall.

My neck is tight, my back is starting to give

This isn’t how I really wanted to live.

I took on everyone’s problems like they were mine

Telling everybody that I’m doing fine.

But the truth is I’m shaking under the weight

Of showing up early and staying out late.

(Chorus)

It’s too much pressure, it’s too much load

I’m breaking down on the side of the road.

My shoulders are heavy, my head’s full of guilt

For the mess I made and the life I built.

I just want to drop it and walk away

But I know I’ll be carrying it again tomorrow anyway.

(Verse 2)

I think about the people I let down

The way I acted when I was the talk of the town.

I said some things that I can’t take back

Now my chest feels tight like a heart attack.

I’m sorry for the calls that I didn't return

And all the bridges that I had to burn.

I’m trying to fix it, I’m trying to be good

But I’m not doing the things that I know I should.

(Verse 3)

Yeah, I’m hunching, I’m losing my focus

I’m carrying demons and nobody noticed

I’m "Mr. Reliable," "Mr. Dependable"

But inside I’m feeling so small and expendable.

Stomach in knots and my vision is blurry

Living my life in a permanent hurry.

The guilt is a debt that I pay every night

I’m losing the sleep and I’m losing the fight.

They look at my face and they think that I’m winning

But I’m at the end while they’re at the beginning.

My traps are like iron, my spine is a spring

I’m tired of being the king of this thing.

I’m drowning in "sorry," I’m drowning in "please"

Just waiting for someone to bring me to my knees.

(Breakdown)

Is there a point where I just say "no"?

Is there a place where the heavy things go?

I’m tired of being the one who stays strong

When everything I touch keeps going wrong.

(Chorus)

It’s too much pressure, it’s too much load

I’m breaking down on the side of the road.

My shoulders are heavy, my head’s full of guilt

For the mess I made and the life I built.

I just want to drop it and walk away

But I know I’ll be carrying it again tomorrow anyway.

(Outro)

My back hurts.

My head aches.

I’m done for today.

Just let it be
