About this track
Between the verses, the spoken section rips away the last layer of pretense. It’s the admission that all the self-help frameworks and mental health scripts don’t actually catch you when you drop… they just give you vocabulary for why it’s “normal” to drown. The world doesn’t pause for you. The sun rises whether you want it to or not. And after hours of crying into the floorboards, you’re left with the one truth nobody escapes:
it doesn’t really matter how you feel about it—life keeps going anyway.
Lyrics
I've been crushed by
The framework closing in
Held captive by these feelings
Breathing so I can feel
Something reverberate
Screaming to see if my soul
Sticks to anything
Waking up on the floor
Higher than I have been before
I don't really wanna care
What I feel about it
I don't really wanna care
What I feel about it
Waking up on the floor
The cut burns more now than it
Did before
I don't really wanna care
What I feel about it
I don't really wanna care
What I feel about it
I was crushed by the framework
Closing in
Can't exorcise these demons
Now the day is done
And I always knew this night
Would come
Fading when I swore these
Colors never run
Waking up on the floor
It burns more now than it did before
Waking up on the floor
It burns more now than it did before
Waking up on the floor
Higher than I have been before
I don't really wanna care
What I feel about it
I don't really wanna care
What I feel about it
Waking up on the floor
The cut burns more now than it
Did before
I don't really wanna care
What I feel about it
I don't really wanna care
What I feel about it
[Spoken]
Like I spent hours in the floor just absolutely crying my eyes out and it was really, really profound and profoundly useless.
So there's all these frameworks out there for like how you should live your life in a healthy way and what mental health looks like and what's really funny about all of them is they're just built in escape plans for like everything else including dealing with your shit.
So the interesting thing is tomorrow the sun is still gonna rise. No matter how you feel. It doesn't really matter how you feel about it.
I mean seriously... Imagine thinking the world is going to take a pause... for you.
