LYRICS:
PERSON 1:
Im such an overthinker, my brain won’t leave me alone
You think you hurt my feelings but I’ll do that on my own
PERSON 2:
Every social situation I panic on what to say
Then I second guess myself for the rest of the day.
PERSON 4:
Every time I send an email I’m drowning in my own sweat
Heart is pounding, mind is racing, what is my job? I forget
PERSON 3:
All the voices in my head are pursuing me with a knife
EVERYONE:
Hey Brain! Stop ruining my life
PERSON 4:
When I was a kid I thought “everyone works this way”
PERSON 2:
Then I realized I’m alone and some people are just ok
PERSON 1:
Not everybody writes and directs a show in their head
PERSON 3 and 4:
Playing every other thing that you could have said
PERSON 2:
I’ve tried some meditation and keeping a steady streak
PERSON 4:
I use BetterHelp to talk to a therapist every week
PERSON 3 (or Vijay):
I have a sinking feeling I trauma dump on my wife
EVERYONE:
Hey Brain! Stop ruining my life
PERSON 2 and 4:
Oh please, spare us a moment
PERSON 1 and 3:
Just a taste of serenity
EVERYONE:
I crave a second of silence in my brain…
(everyone sighs collectively)
(1) Then anxiety chimes,
(3) “Is this a good use of time?”
(All) And I start spiraling back down the drain
EVERYONE:
We’re chronic overthinkers, (1) I desperately need a shrink
(2) It’s overly pervasive, (All) its pushing us to the brink
PERSON 1:
When I send my friend a text and they take too long to respond
PERSON 2, 3, and 4:
It’s gotta be because you did something wrong!
EVERYONE:
One day we will be calm and collected you will see
But for now we’re a collection of various neuroses
We are desperate for a moment our psyche is free of strife
Hey Brain! Stop ruining my life
Hey Brain! Stop ruining my life!
Hey Brain! PLEASE stop ruining my life!
