Burning Out

I been so discouraged
The standards I hold myself to became a burden
I yearn for when the fire in my heart was burning
But every time I think about the past I'm hurting
It gets concerning
I got used to learning
How to get better for every newer version
Of myself
But instead now I'm too uncertain
Don't know if I'm desensitized to all the progress that I've made
Or maybe I just never made it

I been burning out, burning out
Yeah I think I been burning out, burning out
And I just keep on burning out, burning out

The heat of the sun turning tears into vapor
Envelop with my thoughts with the jeers and the labor
Documents and ink blots, taking every acre
Lonely planet atmosphere revolving with my craters
Burn me up like a star
Lava flowing cinnabar
My missing island reservoir
Producing every moment but
I'm lacking repertoire
Hollow like a chasm
Looking for reaction
I'm begging for benefits or a hint of benevolence
But I'm on an exodus from forward my momentum
There's gaps in the deficit like holes in my denim
A glass of water yesterday today I'm drinking venom

So good at what I do
I feel like sometimes I don't notice it
With everything I knew I feel like sometimes I could float and shit
I'm tripping on my shoes cause stepping out requires focusing
I still don't got a clue cause every time I leave I go missing
Feeling faded feeling jaded cause none of my lines come out
The way I want it, way I need to it yeah sometimes I hate my sound
Agitated, full of rage and I'm chillin here, wait it out
Pen to paper, need another layer imma write it down

I been victim to my own ambition
Deadlines, migraines, pressure, building
Always disappointed in myself and interests
But really wanna learn to fix this
I'm tryna learn to tell myself to take a step back
And appreciate my growth in the things I care bout most
Cause passion and obsession and so similar in fact
And this unhealthy obsession has been causing these woes

I been burning out, burning out
I think I been burning out, burning out
And I just keep on burning out, burning out
I just keep on burning out (I just keep on burning out)
I just keep on burning out (I just keep on burning out)
I just keep on burning out (I just keep on burning out)
I just keep on burning out
I just keep on burning out (I just keep on burning out)
I just keep on burning out (I just keep on burning out)
I just keep on burning out (Burning out)
I just keep on burning out
I just keep on burning out, burning out
I just keep on burning out, burning out
And I just keep on burning out, burning out
Yeah I just keep on burning out, yeah
