Down in my head

(beat built from voice + taps)

Da—da—dum

Yeah… yeah…

You hear that?

That’s me thinking again

⸻

I got a beat in my chest and it don’t play fair

Tick-tick-ticking like I got no air

Talk to myself like I’m sat right there

“Yeah you’re good”—then I’m like “don’t swear”

Got a thought, then I flip it twice

Then I flip it back just to check it’s right

Then I sit there stuck in a loop all night

Like my brain got stuck on a highlight

Funny how I make it worse

Tryna fix it, I reverse

Every little thing I think

Turns into a deeper search

⸻

Down in my head

Where it don’t make sense

Little bit loud

Little intense

Smile on face

But I’m not convinced

Got my own voice

And it don’t miss

⸻

Step to the left, step to the right

Act like everything’s alright

Laugh at jokes, keep it light

While my brain goes full-on fight

Tick-tock, can’t stop

Thoughts stacking on top

Tryna chill but I’m not

Even when I say I’m calm

I could be fine… or maybe I’m not

Depends on the day or depends on the thought

Depends on the way that I look at the clock

Or the way that I feel when it suddenly drops

⸻

Down in my head

Where it don’t make sense

Little bit loud

Little intense

Smile on face

But I’m not convinced

Got my own voice

And it don’t miss

⸻

(voice only, almost whisper)

You ever just…

Think…

And then think about thinking…

And then you’re just stuck there?

⸻

I make a problem out of nothing

Then I build it into something

Then I try to find a reason

Why it’s all disrupting

Funny how I know it’s me

Still can’t set myself free

Like I’m watching from outside

But I’m still inside the scene

⸻

Down in my head

Where it don’t make sense

Little bit loud

Little intense

Smile on face

But I’m not convinced

Got my own voice

And it don’t miss

⸻

Da—da—dum…

Yeah…

Still thinking
