Sometimes I overthink
Compulsively get in my head
Wait for the truth to sink in
To feel my own skin
Whiplash in polaroids
Left to the flip of a coin
Dissonance turning your voice
Into white noise
So what if I
Say out loud
What I’m afraid of
From my heart
To my mouth
Climbing the way up
I know I’m terrified
When I get too high
But if I don’t look down
I won’t be too dizzy to stay
And I won’t go slipping away
I’ll keep my head in the clouds
If I don’t look down
Maybe I’ll land on my feet
Find comfort in quiet and peace
I’ll be in the here
I’ll be in the now
If I don’t look down
I’m on a carousel
Spinning so fast I need help
In all of the muted pastels
Losing myself
So what if I
Say out loud
What I’m afraid of
From my heart
To my mouth
Climbing the way up
I know I’m terrified
When I get too high
But if I don’t look down
I won’t be too dizzy to stay
And I won’t go slipping away
I’ll keep my head in the clouds
If I don’t look down
Maybe I’ll land on my feet
Find comfort in quiet and peace
I’ll be in the here
I’ll be in the now
If I don’t look down
I won’t be too dizzy to stay
And I won’t go slipping away
I’ll keep my head in the clouds
If I don’t look down
Maybe I’ll land on my feet
Find comfort in quiet and peace
I’ll be in the here
I’ll be in the now
If I don’t look down
