It's too loud
What's too loud?
Everything is too loud
I don't want to hear your voice
I don't have an easy choice
The voices in my head, tearing me apart
It's so loud again
The voices all around me
Strangers, friends, and family
Why do they expect too much from me?
I'm overwhelmed, it's getting too loud
Please stop for a minute, it feels too loud
I can't do everything you want me to
Right now it's hard to do anything at all
But they're screaming in my ear and my brain
It's too fucking loud
I need to sit down
I need to breathe
I need to stop worrying
But I'm not allowed
I have to do this, I have to do that, I have to not forget
Even the dreams are loud now
Be quiet, I need more time
Be quiet, what's happening to me?
Be quiet
Be quiet
I can't do this
Why am I not able to grow?
I'm supposed to be better now but I feel so much worse
Don't tell me I can do better
It's a lie, you're too loud
I'm just trying to exist but everything is too loud
I'm shaking, nothing is my fault
I'm breaking, why is there so much pressure?
I'm faking, you don't want to see how I am
But it's too much
Leave me alone
It's too loud
It's too loud
I have to stop for a moment
But it's still not allowed
