"Outside Myself" lyrics

"Outside Myself"

It's like I'm drowning in shallow water
Because I have no strength to lift my head
It's likes there's a million tiny knives in my chest
It's like there's non existent hands around my neck
Constantly try to touch
Why does this happen to me?
Why should this happen to me?

I tend to overthink everyday situations
Predicting there outcomes
Piece together what will and won't happen

It makes my heartbeat a million miles an hour
My eyes start to well
I feel like I'm outside myself

I feel like I'm outside myself
Looking in
But I can do nothing to help
I can do nothing to help
Nothing to help me

Close my eyes
Take a deep breath
Take a moment

It's like I'm drowning in shallow water
Because I have no strength to lift my head
It's likes there's a million tiny knives in my chest
It's like there's non existent hands around my neck
Constantly try to touch
Why does this happen to me?
Why should this happen to me?

Close my eyes
Take a deep breath
Take a moment

I need to get away, away from it all
So I can be by myself
So I can take a deep breath
Breath in and breath out

I just need some time
To clear out my head
Think it all over and start it again
I want to feel normal like I fit in and shine
I'm outside myself
I'm overthinking my life
