Stressed Out

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)
