                    Am
I don't wanna break down but i'm feeling low

       Dm
Let me sink to the bottom

          Am
Air in my lungs keeping me afloat

       E7
Inside i'm still hollow
[Verse]
  Am
I know i'm not my thoughts
But my thoughts don't know that yet
    Dm
Sometimes i try to sneak up
On the voice inside my head
     Am
I've tried to meditate
Cause they tell me it'll help
        E7
But the last thing i need is more time alone inside myself

  Am
I know i'm not unique
We all got broken brains
        Dm
Culture recently decided being crazy is okay

    Am
And now we all can talk about it on our social feeds

         Am                 E7
Having a rough day? hashtag mental health awareness week

Am
  i know that's progress, we don't have to hide no more

       Dm
But it leaves me wondering why we ain't said this stuff before

     Am
Like were we always all crazy and we all just kept quiet

       E7
Are we on the same page with what we're identifying?

       Am
And if crazy's the new normal then it's not that crazy, is it?

          Dm
Cause the word by definition means it sits outside the system

        Am
And how can we tell difference between sick and trying to fit in

       Am                      E7
And if everybody's crazy, then who's supposed to fix it?
[Chorus]
                    Am
I don't wanna break down but i'm feeling low

       Dm
Let me sink to the bottom

          Am
Air in my lungs keeping me afloat

       E7
Inside i'm still hollow

                    Am
I don't wanna break down so where do i go?

           Dm
My screams sink to the bottom

          Am
Top of my lungs, just an echo

       E7
Inside i'm still hollow
[Verse]
   Am
No one told me it could get this bad, this fast

Dm
Guess we only hear about the struggle after it's passed

Am
Getting easier to open up, share what we've lost

Am                               E7
Good to know i'm not alone but if i'm really being honest

Am
I kinda hope there's something wrong with me

        Dm
I kinda hope this isn't how it's supposed to be, supposed to be

Am
I pray to god it's not normal crying on the floor

E7
I don't wanna do this anymore, though
[Chorus]
                    Am
I don't wanna break down but i'm feeling low

       Dm
Let me sink to the bottom

          Am
Air in my lungs keeping me afloat

       E7
Inside i'm still hollow

                    Am
I don't wanna break down so where do i go?

           Dm
My screams sink to the bottom

          Am
Top of my lungs, just an echo

       E7
Inside i'm still hollow
