[Verse 1]
Brain like a traffic jam
All green lights, still I stand
Thoughts loop back like rubber bands
Face in my hands, face in my hands
Shadows talk in a crowded room
Middle of June, but I feel like gloom
JKB in the cracked glass staring
"Man, you good?" but the walls ain’t caring
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it me, or the smoke in the mirror
Every step, every breath feels nearer
To a cliff I can’t see, only hear it
Heart loud, tryna drown out the spirit (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m tryna untangle my mind
Pulling these knots out, one line at a time
Talk back to the voices that lie
Tell ’em, "You’re not real, you’re not mine" (nah)
I’m tryna untangle my mind
From the dark that’s been stealing my shine
If I fall, I get up, I’ll be fine
JKB on the track, rewiring the signs
[Verse 2]
Paranoia on the passenger seat
Saying, "They laughing at you" every time I meet
Any eye in the street, I retreat, heartbeat
Doing double-time, got me grinding my teeth
Therapist say "Name what you feel"
Mama say "Pray" and my homies say "Chill"
Doctor write scripts, but I still need will
’Cause the pill ain’t a shield if the pain too real
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it fear, is it fire in my chest
Or a storm I inherited from stress
Every thought try to claim me, possess
But I breathe, talk it out, I confess (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m tryna untangle my mind
Pulling these knots out, one line at a time
Talk back to the voices that lie
Tell ’em, "You’re not real, you’re not mine"
I’m tryna untangle my mind
From the dark that’s been stealing my shine
If I fall, I get up, I’ll be fine
JKB on the track, rewiring the signs
[Bridge]
Some days I’m the cage
Some days I’m the key
Some days I’m the rain
Some days I’m the sea (woah)
But I’m still here, breath in my chest
If chaos is a test
Then every verse I confess
Is one more thread pulled out of this mess
[Chorus]
I’m tryna untangle my mind
Pulling these knots out, one line at a time
Talk back to the voices that lie
Tell ’em, "You’re not real, you’re not mine"
I’m tryna untangle my mind
From the dark that’s been stealing my shine
If I fall, I get up, I’ll be fine
JKB in the mirror saying, "Kid, you’ll be fine"
