Overthinking Overthinking

I'm trying not to think too much

So I put on headphones

And listen to sad songs

So other peoples words can think for me

For three minutes I can hurt

Without reason or explanation

And I don't have to process anything

I can just feel

And listen

And wait for the next song to play

I don't want to go back to the silence

The white noise machine

But I'm tired of being the only one saying

That the world is fucked up

And I'm fucked up

And you can slap as many bandaids as you want on the bullet wound

It won't fix the fact that you've got organ damage

So I turn the speakers louder

And let other people say their truth

So I don't have to think about my own
