00:00I tiptoe through the quiet air, afraid of sounds that aren't there
00:11A glance too long, a word too loud, could bring the storm, could draw a crowd
00:17I fold my hands the proper way, and edit every word
00:27I say even joy feels like a risk, so I keep it short, keep it brisk
00:34I'm too careful to breathe too deep, afraid to wake what lies beneath
00:45I smile small and never wide, I've learned to shrink what's locked inside
00:57I double check the lock each night, my heart has never felt quite right
01:15Mistakes were once a deadly game, so now I carry all the blame
01:21I plan ahead, then check again, expecting fire in every friend
01:33I feel too much, but never show, I've learned young to never glow
01:39I'm too careful to breathe too deep, each silence feels a vow to keep
01:50Even peace can feel like fear, when danger lives so close or near
02:02I wasn't warm, it is tightly wound, but quiet pain does not resound
02:09It builds its house inside your chest, and teaches you to never rest
02:15Too careful to breathe at all, still bracing for the next free fall
02:25And though the world may seem at ease, I flinch in the winds, I freeze and breeze
02:37You're really curious about it, I Born to� to always hold, and hopes to keep
02:49For happiness, you might be in your time, when you're in youridel.
02:54They call me calm in every storm
03:17The one who keeps the fire warm
03:20But they don't see the way I break
03:24Behind the smile I have to fake
03:27I hold the weight so they feel light
03:36I brace the day, I lose the night
03:39While they lean in and count on me
03:42No one asks who holds up me
03:46I hold the weight so they feel light
03:55I brace the day, I lose the night
03:58While they lean in and count on me
04:01No one asks who holds up me
04:06Strong enough to shatter slow
04:09Built from glass, they'll never know
04:12I never scream, I never fall
04:15Cracks run deep beneath it all
04:18I laugh on cue, I never shake
04:27Even when my hands might ache
04:31I've patched myself with silent glue
04:33So no one sees what I've been through
04:37I give my best, I give too much
04:40While no one dares to really touch
04:43The hero stands, I'm shaking knees
04:46Begging soft for some release
04:49Strong enough to shatter slow
04:53The porcelain I'll never show
04:56I carry peace like it's a sword
05:00While drowning quiet in the war
05:03I'm tired of strength that costs my soul
05:12Of playing parts I can't control
05:15Who saves the ones who always stay
05:18Who holds the brave when they decay
05:21Strong enough to shatter still
05:38But hold the weight against my will
05:42If I break, please let it be
05:45The fall that finally sets me free

06:41Every silence feels too deep
06:46I learned to flinch before the fall
06:50To sense the danger in it all
06:55I sleep with one eye halfway closed
06:59Always ready, always posed
07:03The world was sharp before I knew
07:08So I became sharp with it too
07:13My hypervigilant heart won't rest
07:17It beats too fast inside my chest
07:21I wanna trust, I want to breathe
07:26But peace is something I can't reach
07:30I read the tone, I read the face
07:34I'm at the exits just in case
07:39Even love feels like a trap
07:43Like it could vanish and stop
07:47My hypervigilant heart won't sleep
07:52It guards the wounds I couldn't keep
07:56I crave the soft, the slow, the kind
08:01But always praise for what I'll find
08:05I sleep with one eye halfway closed
08:19Always ready, always posed
08:23The world was sharp before I knew
08:27So I became sharp with it too
08:32My hypervigilant heart won't rest
08:36It beats too fast inside my chest
08:40I wanna trust, I want to breathe
08:45But peace is something I can't reach
08:50My hypervigilant heart won't rest
08:54It beats too fast inside my chest
08:58I wanna trust, I want to breathe
09:03But peace is something I can't reach
09:07I read the tone, I read the face
09:11I'm at the exits just in case
09:16Even love feels like a trap
09:20Like it could vanish in the snow
09:25I wish

09:55Into theentle Borough
09:56I
10:00count the risk before I sleep
10:02List every promise I can't keep
10:04I ask myself 1,000 ways
10:07To soften things I didn't say
10:13Ihre
10:15To
10:16Sei
10:17I trace
10:18I've missed, we'll play a look, rewind a twist
10:21I fall, the fear beneath my bed
10:25But it still whispers in my head
10:28This is the overthinker's lullaby
10:34A song of questions, never why
10:40It hums all night, it pulls me in
10:43My neck spins beneath the skin
10:48I learned too young to read the air
10:54To guess if someone really cared
10:56To watch for signs and play it safe
10:59To hide the parts I couldn't share
11:02They called me bright, they called me wise
11:11But missed the tremble in my eyes
11:14I grew up calm, but deep inside
11:17I always thought I had refused to hide
11:20This is the overthinker's lullaby
11:25A song of questions, never why
11:31It hums all night, it pulls me in
11:35A mind that spins beneath the skin
11:38They called me bright, they called me wise
11:46But missed the tremble in my eyes
11:49I grew up calm, but deep inside
11:52He thought I had refused to hide
11:55This is the overthinker's lullaby
12:00Where silence speaks and shadows lie
12:06Where peace is just a fragile threat
12:10It snaps when I replay what's said
12:13What a pile like folded clothes
12:20When corners no one ever goes
12:22Each maybe hangs above my door
12:26And keeps me checking evermore
12:28This is the overthinker's lullaby
12:38This is the overthinker's lullaby
12:40A gentle hum I sleep beside
12:44No quiet mind, no clear goodbye
12:47Just one more thought before I try
12:51What a pile like folded clothes
13:06In corners no one ever goes
13:09Each maybe hangs above my door
13:12And keeps me checking evermore
13:16I hold your panic in my head
13:28Speak soft like I already planned
13:32I smile like it's a normal day
13:35Though all my life has drained away
13:38I patch your fears while mine still bleed
13:48Forget to check what I might need
13:51You say I'm calm, I say I'm fine
13:54But I've been breaking all this time
13:58Smiling in my junk, see more
14:07Keeping warm when I'm freezing cold
14:10I am the shelter in your storm
14:13But no one asks if I'm still torn
14:17You cry and I become the shore
14:32While we're still crushed behind my door
14:36You breathe because I count to ten
14:39And hide my own collapse again
14:42They love the way I stay composed
14:52Not knowing how much I've enclosed
14:56A thousand tears behind my grin
14:59A scream I've folded deep within
15:02Smiling in my junk, see more
15:11Keeping warm when I'm freezing cold
15:15I am the shelter in your storm
15:17But no one asks if I'm still torn
15:21Smiling in my junk, see more
15:38Smiling in my junk, see more
15:50Living loud but never bold
15:53I soothe the world with steady hands
15:56While no one sees the sinking sand
15:59Smiling in my junk, see more
16:29Afraid of the air
16:30Afraid of sounds that aren't there
16:33A glance too long, a word too loud
16:36Could bring the storm, could draw a crowd
16:39I fold my hands the proper way
16:48And edit every word I say
16:51Even joy feels like a risk
16:54So I keep it short, keep it brisk
16:57I'm too careful to breathe too deep
17:08Afraid to wake what lies beneath
17:14I smile small and never wide
17:20I've learned to shrink what's locked inside
17:26I double check the lock each night
17:35My heart has never felt quite right
17:38Mistakes were once a deadly game
17:41So now I carry all the blame
17:44I plan ahead, then check again
17:47Expecting fire in every friend
17:50I feel too much but never show
17:53I learn young to never glow
17:56I'm too careful to breathe too deep
18:01Each silence feels a vow to keep
18:07Even peace can feel like fear
18:13When danger lives so close, so near
18:19I wasn't born this tightly wound
18:34But quiet pain does not resound
18:37It builds its house inside your chest
18:40And teaches you to never rest
18:43I'm too careful to breathe at all
18:47Still bracing for the next free fall
18:54And though the world may seem at ease
19:00I flinch and wins, I freeze and brace
19:17They call me calm in every storm
19:22The one who keeps the fire warm
19:26But they don't see the way I break
19:29Behind the smile I have to fake
19:33I hold the weight so they feel light
19:37But brace the day I lose the night
19:40While they lean in and count on me
19:44No one asks who holds up me
19:48I hold the weight so they feel light
19:58I brace the day I lose the night
20:02While they lean in and count on me
20:05No one asks who holds up me
20:09Strong enough to shine and slow
20:13Built from glass they'll never know
20:17I never scream, I never fall
20:20The cracks run deep beneath it all
20:24I laugh on you
20:32I never shake
20:34Even when my hands might ache
20:38I've patched myself with silent glue
20:41So no one sees what I've been through
20:45I give my best, I give too much
20:48While no one dares to really touch
20:52The hero stands on shaking knees
20:56Begging soft for some release
20:59Strong enough to shine or slow
21:04A boat's alone they'll never know
21:07I carry peace like it's a sword
21:11While drowning quiet in the world
21:14I'm tired of staying
21:16Because my soul
21:18Of playing parts
21:20I can't control
21:22Who saves the ones who always stay
21:25Who holds the brave when they decay
21:29I'm strong enough to shine or still
21:46But hold the light against my will
21:50If I pray, please let it be
21:53If all the fire can be sets me free
21:57I scan the room before I speak
22:08Every silence feels too deep
22:12I learn to flinch before the fall
22:16To sense the danger in it all
22:19I sleep with one eye halfway closed
22:24Always ready, always posed
22:27The world was sharp before I knew
22:31So I became sharp with the two
22:34My hypervigilant heart won't rest
22:39It beats too fast inside my chest
22:43I wanna trust, I wanna breathe
22:46But peace is something I can't reach
22:50I read the tone, I read the face
22:54I map the exits just in case
22:58Even love feels like a trap
23:01Like it could vanish in a snap
23:05My hypervigilant heart won't sleep
23:09It guards the wounds I couldn't keep
23:13I crave the soft, the slow, the kind
23:17But always brace for what I'll find
23:20My hypervigilant heart beats on
23:40Low always ready, always posed
23:44The world was sharp before I knew
23:47So I became sharp with the two
23:51My hypervigilant heart won't rest
23:55It beats too fast inside my chest
23:59I wanna trust, I wanna breathe
24:02But peace is something I can't reach
24:06My hypervigilant heart won't rest
24:10It beats too fast inside my chest
24:14I wanna trust, I wanna breathe
24:18But peace is something I can't reach
24:22My hypervigilant heart beats on
24:26I map the exits just in case
24:29Even love feels like a trap
24:33Like it could vanish in a snap
24:36I count the risks before I slip
24:59List every promise I can't keep
25:03I ask myself a thousand ways
25:06To soften things I didn't say
25:09I trace each word I might've missed
25:19Replay, look, rewind, a twist
25:23I fold the fear beneath my bed
25:26But it still whispers in my head
25:30This is the overthinker's lullaby
25:34A song of questions, never why
25:37It hums all night, it pulls me in
25:40A mind that spins beneath the skin
25:44I learned too young to read the air
25:53To guess if someone really cared
25:56To watch for signs, to play it safe
26:00To hide the parts I couldn't shape
26:03They call me bright, they call me wise
26:08But miss the tremble in my eyes
26:12I grew up calm, but deep inside
26:15Each thought I had refused to hide
26:18This is the overthinker's lullaby
26:22Where silence speaks and shadows lie
26:26Where peace is just a fragile friend
26:29That snaps when I replay what's said
26:33What ifs pile like folded clothes
26:49In corners no one ever goes
26:52Each maybe hangs above my door
26:56And keeps me checking evermore
26:59This is the overthinker's lullaby
27:03The gentle hum I sleep is sad
27:06No quiet mind, no clear goodbye
27:10Just one more thought before I try
27:13They called me bright, they called me wise
27:43The mist that trembled in my eyes
27:46I learned too young to read the air
27:50To guess if someone really cared
27:53To watch for signs, to play it safe
27:58To hide the parts I couldn't shape
