On the day you ran away from the dinner table
It was your seventeenth birthday
And you just couldn’t breathe
So you blew out the candle, made a wish
“I wish these anxieties would run away too
Too scared of me and flee”
Cuz even when the bleeding stops
Your mind never stops
Feeling stuck in a cage called time
Emotions enter
Without being filtered
Only songs can let them out
With every letter of rejection
Every sleepless night
Chronic self-rumination
Is an endless fight
Just want to call it all “stop”
Oh but these thoughts don’t stop
Circles, cycles, recycles
It goes nonstop
Stop stop stop
These thoughts don’t stop
Stop stop stop
Just want to call it all “stop”
Stop stop stop
But it runs nonstop
Circles, cycles, recycles
It goes nonstop
The day it started to pour on your walk back home
You forgot your umbrella, got soaked
And you never liked the rain
Dim clouds, dim eyes
Water trickling down both
Wiping out hope
If you can’t avoid a hurricane
You step into its eye
Cuz even when the bleeding stops
Your mind never stops
Feeling stuck in a cage called time
Emotions enter
Without being filtered
Only songs can let them out
With every letter of rejection
Every sleepless night
Chronic self-rumination
Is an endless fight
Just want to call it all “stop”
Oh but these thoughts don’t stop
Circles, cycles, recycles
It goes nonstop
Stop stop stop
These thoughts don’t stop
Stop stop stop
Just want to call it all “stop”
Stop stop stop
But it runs nonstop
Circles, cycles, recycles
It goes nonstop
I know it’s exhausting, I’ve been there too
And I see you’re hurting all alone
When it feels like you’re breaking, put me on the phone
And maybe, just maybe I can help you stop
With every letter of rejection
Every sleepless night
Chronic self-rumination
Is an endless fight
Just want to call it all “stop”
Oh but these thoughts don’t stop
Circles, cycles, recycles
It goes nonstop
I know it’s exhausting, I’ve been there too
And I see you’re hurting all alone
When it feels like you’re breaking, put me on the phone
And maybe, just maybe I can help you stop
