Rustage, Chi-Chi - Stressed Out lyrics

Took a boat and I'm lost at sea
I've been keeping my head down
Cannot cope with my endless dreams
On the edge and I'm stressed out
Reconstruct every piece of me
I'm filled with self doubt
Too afraid, I can't leave it be
On the edge and I'm stressed out

Uh
Past the point of no return
I'm a lost cause
Take a look at what I've
Earned with my art form
The flame inside
You can still burn at your last straws
Look into my past more
This is what I've asked for
My emotions make no sense to me
I thought I would be happy
When reveling in prosperity
So then I feel ungrateful when it's
Painful they all question me
Why's my work the only thing
That's forming my identity

I don't deserve all the praise
When I'm making this music
That's average at best
(no)
I don't deserve all the people
That watch me and help
With my rampant success
(uh)
I can keep on grinding but I'm finding that
I'm fearing what will happen if I
Pause and take a break
I will keep on smiling through the crying
And I'm trying to be better but
I feel like I'm a fake

Took a boat and I'm lost at sea
I've been keeping my head down
Cannot cope with my endless dreams
On the edge and I'm stressed out
Reconstruct every piece of me
I'm filled with self doubt
Too afraid, I can't leave it be
On the edge and I'm stressed out

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh

Sometimes I'm proud of it
Loving the sound of it
But I get embarrassed when it's
Played in front of crowds
Cut it
I don't care if they love it
That might sound insane
But it's hard for me to tell if
All my music sounds the same
Does it?
I feel guilty when I'm
Reading all this feedback
All these people like it but it's awful
Can't they see that?
When my peers say I'm good I
Don't know if they mean that
Maybe I've forgotten how it
Feels to just relax

Non-stop every day to day
I hate to say I'm starting to waste away
I'm making plays but I'm frightened
To take a break
It's way too late
I'm fighting to tame the strain
The pain betrays, I'm sure
That I'm just lazy
I'm a whiny kid
Acting like a baby when all I
Need is an iron fist
I be feeling crazy
Don't know my needs like it's hieroglyphs
I've achieved my dreams but look at
Me and what it finally did

Took a boat and I'm lost at sea
I've been keeping my head down
Cannot cope with my endless dreams
On the edge and I'm stressed out
Reconstruct every piece of me
I'm filled with self doubt
Too afraid, I can't leave it be
On the edge and I'm stressed out

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh

Shut up, shut up
I've been thinking too much
I wish it could all just shut up
Shut up, shut up
Acting like there's something wrong
Really I need to shut up
Shut up, shut up
I've been thinking too much
I wish it could all just shut up
Shut up, shut up
Acting like there's something wrong
Really I need to shut up

Took a boat and I'm lost at sea
I've been keeping my head down
Cannot cope with my endless dreams
On the edge and I'm stressed out
Reconstruct every piece of me
I'm filled with self doubt
Too afraid, I can't leave it be
On the edge and I'm stressed out

Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
(Look at what I am
An imposter with a fake grin)
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
(I don't understand
Should be happy but I hate this)
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh (shut up, shut up)
(Look at what I am
An imposter with a fake grin)
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh (shut up, shut up)
(I don't understand
Should be happy but I hate this)
