Lyrics

I’m becoming a caricature of myself
Of someone I never used to know
I’m the sum of all my parts
But what if nobody likes me whole

I wear my mask
To look relaxed
You can’t see what I’m hiding
I talk real loud
You tune me out
And let some real good light in
You like me best
When I’m suppressed
So let me turn up my volume
Take away my costume

Head’s on fire
Brain’s on overload
Trip the wire
But my heart won’t explode
I just simmer
Thought for food
Do you hear
The voices too?

Oh how I love to replay
Your least favorite cliches
I put them all on display
But hide a few in the cache

I take my seltzer
From my mouth
And spit it right at your face
You never saw it coming
Makeup smudged all
Over the place
All in my mind
I never meant
To externalize my dread
Keep it in my…

Head’s on fire
Brain’s on overload
Trip the wire
But my heart won’t explode
I just simmer
Thought for food
Do you hear
The voices too?

Don’t flinch
Don’t move
If you can hear them
They can hear you
Don’t leave
Don’t stay
Just find a bed to make
And in it you can lay

Head’s on fire
Brain’s on overload
Trip the wire
But my heart won’t explode
I just simmer
Thought for food
Do you hear
The voices too?

Head’s on fire
Head’s on fire
Head’s on fire
