Burned out Lyrics

Burnt out but my heart is stone cold

Scared of heights, but I never felt so low

Yeah, sometimes I'll reopen my scars

So I can write songs

But that's the reason why

I don't attend any therapy sessions Lately I sit down and set an intention

To talk to the chord progression

With the main aim to find correlation

Between all my inner sadness

And my shattered patterns

Outer shell's made of glass

But purposely blocking the light

So the shadow work ain't working

Locking myself away

Emotionally unavailable for a few days

Yeah, that's what I said a decade ago

Still haven't returned

No I guess that I never learned

To let go what's holding me back

While mentally I feel unstable in so many ways

What should I say?

I guess I'm blocked in a way

But look at my face today

Every smile is so delayed

I'll pretend that I'm doing great

While I'm broken down

No, I can't explain

I fight to survive while I'm already dead Inside I didn't know who to call

When my father died

I tried to turn off my head

But instead I turned down every feeling

That came way too close to me

Burnt out but my heart is stone cold

Scared of heights, but I never felt so low

Yeah, sometimes I reopen my scars

So I can write songs

But that's the reason why I'm feeling

Burnt out but my heart is stone cold

Scared of heights, but I never felt so low

Yeah, some songs will reopen my scars

Until I burn out

Until I burn out, yeah

And if you would ask me

Why I feel way more connected

To strangers than family

I would agree that it's strange in a way

But guess it's a combination

Of my past and the present

So better don't ask me

Protecting my heart

That was always my strategy

Honestly, I really struggle

To find some more internal happiness

But until then I'm just

Locking myself away

Emotionally unavailable

Until further notice

Cause I haven't noticed

There's some ghosts inside my home

Yeah I've been haunted

Emotionally unavailable

Cause currently all my emotional

Levels have turned into permanent pain

Cause they're not emotion

So I thought I'm healing

But I just got better

At hiding the damage inside of me

Don't like recalling the memory

But I remember the voice in my head

That predicted the pain When I wasn't even hurt

Burnt out but my heart is stone cold

Scared of heights, but I never felt so low

Yeah, sometimes I reopen my scars

So I can write songs

But that's the reason why I'm feeling

Burnt out but my heart is stone cold

Scared of heights, but I never felt so low

Yeah, some songs will reopen my scars

Until I burn out

Until I burn out, yeah

Until I burn out

Until I burn out
