"Overwhelming" lyrics
Mass Of Man, Merkules & Olivia Charlotte Lyrics
[Merkules:]
Mass of Man, what up?
It's been a long time comin'
[Mass Of Man:]
Music is an outlet when I'm strugglin' in my heart
If I listened to my parents, I wouldn't of been an artist
A special ed student, kids labeled me retarded
I'm afraid to show emotion, so I keep myself guarded
My heart is heavy from all the guilty that I carry
Anxiety sky high, the thought of the future scares me
Life's a long journey, somebody should've prepared me for the trauma that I'm facing and emotions that I bury
An obsessive overthinker who worries himself to death
A mess when I'm alone, it's hard to control my breath
Thoughts are overwhelming, it's hard to get any rest
I've tried coping mechanisms and different amounts of meds
Intrusive thoughts that ruminate in my head
Like, I hate it when my girl leaves my text on read
I feel like such a burden to my family and friends
My depression hittin' hard, I can't get out of this bed
[Olivia Charlotte:]
Insidious, self-deprecating
Now I can't hear my real voice and it's overwhelming
If we stand up, keep on creating, and help each other, maybe we could change something
(Maybe we could change something)
[Merkules:]
I got all this self-hate inside, only this tequila and these pills help change my mind
I just numb it with the substance 'til my brain is fried
I chase the high, and I won't stop runnin' 'til my ankles lie broken on the pavement and I'm anxious 'cause the drank is dry
Layin' on my back, heartbroken, as I face the sky
Promise to myself, no matter what, I'll find my way this time
The drugs and the liquor turn lethal once they combine
So, Mass of Man, now we have a plan
Came a long way from sellin' dope out of Astro van
Used to divvy every gram up inside some wrapped saran
And now, I can't go back, like a cancelled plan
'Cause I'm an idol to the youth, so it's vital when I'm writing that I only tell the truth
It's so easy now for me to spot the liars in the room
So don't make me set another fuckin' fire in this booth
So what's the outcome? I'm explorin' the possibilities
The outcast, remember when nobody wanted to sit with me?
Now all these years later, I still held them all responsible
Our sold out tours provin' anything is possible, it's marketing
[Olivia Charlotte:]
Insidious, self-deprecating
Now I can't hear my real voice and it's overwhelming
If we stand up, keep on creating, and help each other, maybe we could change something
(Maybe we could change something)
