[Intro]
Brain goes (pow)
Heart goes (boom)
Thoughts go (skrrt)
Every damn room
[Verse 1]
Wake up, grayscale ceiling in my face
Phone screen screaming like it’s trying to win a race
Half of me is lightning, half of me is glue
One foot on the gas, other stuck in my shoe
Pills in a tray like colorful confetti
Hands kinda shaky but I tell ‘em that I’m ready
Scroll, scroll, scroll till my soul feels static
Then I’m cleaning every drawer like a wired-up addict
Laugh too loud, then crash in a second
Argue with myself, switching sides mid-sentence
Jokes on fire, then I’m quiet in the back
Like a DJ that forgot how to scratch
[Chorus]
Welcome to my daily life
Cartoon chaos in my mind
Every feeling amplified
Too up, too down, too many times
I turn my pain into punchlines
Till the crowd thinks I’m alright
But when the lights cut out at night
It’s just me vs. me in a bare-knuckled fight
[Verse 2]
Therapist asking, “How you really been?”
I answer with a bar like I’m trying to win a win
Freestyle demons, they be talking over me
Every thought heckling like battle poetry
Anxiety announcer doing play-by-play
“Heart rate rising, he gon’ choke today”
Depression on the boards, turning volume low
ADHD on the fader flipping fast-fast-slow
Some days I’m a king with a crown made of jokes
Other days couch-locked in yesterday’s coat
Smiling in the cypher while my chest feels tight
Spitting fireworks, living in a brown-out light
[Chorus]
Welcome to my daily life
Cartoon chaos in my mind
Every feeling amplified
Too up, too down, too many times
I turn my pain into punchlines
Till the crowd thinks I’m alright
But when the lights cut out at night
It’s just me vs. me in a bare-knuckled fight
[Bridge]
Crowd yells “go!” and the beat goes (bang)
I black out, black dog, big fangs
But I ride that wave, every jagged little crest
Every scar on my tongue is a piece of my chest
So if you hear me snap, then laugh, then cry
That’s just weather in my sky
I’m still here, still sharp, still breathing on the track
Every messy little flaw is the ink in my tag
[Chorus]
Welcome to my daily life
Cartoon chaos in my mind
Every feeling amplified
Too up, too down, too many times
I turn my pain into punchlines
Till the crowd thinks I’m alright
But when the lights cut out at night
It’s just me vs. me
But I’m still gonna fight
