lyrics

I made myself a nest inside of my head,
Now it's overgrow
I planted the seeds, but I left them for dead
Well they sprouted up
Now the roots have made their way inside of my tongue
And the words are pouring out

Oh I'm ready for it...I'm ready for it!
No excuse for why I've been waiting for it
I've been waiting for it!
Because I'm scared to try
But I'm starting to find that all I need are my hands
To unwrap the vines tangled around my mind

I made myself a nest inside of my head,
Now it's overgrow
I planted the seeds, but I left them for dead
Well they sprouted up
Now the roots have made their way inside of my tongue
And the words are pouring out

I'm scared of what I don't know
So I tend to chill inside of my head
Looking out a window
Just watching the days blur past
Maybe I'm just moving a little too fast
I struggle with making the moment last
Classic patterns, my skull shatters
The walls drip with brain matter
So I go home, get stoned alone
Make today yesterday's clone
I tell myself I'm fighting it
But my mind's overgrown,
and I'm feeling sick from hiding it

I made myself a nest inside of my head,
Now it's overgrow
I planted the seeds, but I left them for dead
Well they sprouted up
Now the roots have made their way inside of my tongue
And the words are pouring out
