Burned Out

(album: Perfectionist - 2020)

I spent New Year's Eve, 2018
In London wondering when I could leave
Fear of missing out is my main motivation
Staying booked and busy never take a vacation
Leaving the meeting for another meeting
7-Eleven is all that I'm eating
Jealous of the people sitting down at a table
I would if I was able, mhm

I work nine to five to nine
Shouldn't I be working all the time
(I'm burned out)

Always onto the next
Wake up already stressed
And I can sleep in when I'm dead
(I'm burned out)
I'm way too sick and tired
Feeling so uninspired
Maybe the grind is how I'm wired
But I'm burned out

I didn't say stop

I'm such a terrible friend
Sorry, double-booked, I've gotta cancel again
And damn
I get so overwhelmed
But rather take care of business than take care of myself
I can't help but feel it's all for nothing
What if I never can afford that house that I grew up in
And did I brush my teeth last night?
I've forgotten what my bed feels like
(I'm burned out)

Always onto the next
Wake up already stressed
And I can sleep in when I'm dead
(I'm burned out)
I'm way too sick and tired
Feeling so uninspired
Maybe the grind is how I'm wired
(I'm burned out)

Um
I don't really feel like writing a bridge

Always onto the next
Wake up already stressed
And I can sleep in when I'm dead
(I'm burned out)
I'm way too sick and tired
Feeling so uninspired
Maybe the grind is how I'm wired
But I'm burned out
