So if I’m honest I think I’m beginning to question how much i want this Overloaded serial stresser, I’m sitting nauseous Panic on a loop in my head, I’m chronically cautious How can I get off this To keep it simple I think I’ve been willingly following every impulse Picturing a future, then tossing it out the window Suffocate the fire I started right when it kindles Passionate but fickle The source of my serotonin is only digital Cause my reality’s fading, I guess that’s typical Can’t switch back it’s mismatched in dopamine Get whiplash, it hits fast controlling me Swerving in silence I’m all alone In traffic I’m trapped in, I can’t find home I’m an optimist who’s cynical And that’s miserable So if I’m honest I think I’m beginning to question how much I want this Overloaded serial stresser, I’m sitting nauseous Panic on a loop in my head, I’m chronically cautious How can I get off this To keep it simple I think I’ve been willingly following every impulse Picturing a future, then tossing it out the window Suffocate the fire I started right when it kindles Passionate but fickle CREDITS Editor: Marta Strauss Childhood Content by Cathy Bales Videographer: Alex Oh Music video by Braden Bales performing CHRONICALLY CAUTIOUS (Lyric Video). © 2023 Braden Bales, under exclusive to Geffen Records
