Lyrics
My brain is working overtime
I need something to ease my mind
And as my thoughts go manic
I reel and start to panic
There’s no place to hide behind
I freak and then hallucinate
I go at lights when I should wait
My parents think I’m lazy
But damn, I’m going crazy
I can’t help my mental state
Cause I'm trippin'
Feeling like I'm going insane (trippin' trippin')
Cause I'm trippin'
Help me break through all of my pain (trippin' trippin')
I work into a frenzied clip
I bite the corners of my lip
I’m losin’ my appetite
My pants don’t even fit right
Take away the month-old dip
My hair could start a bowl cut fad
The state of my attire is sad
And if I was run over
By a brand new Range Rover
Hey, I'd actually be glad
Cause I'm trippin'
Feeling like I'm going insane (trippin' trippin')
Cause I'm trippin'
Help me break through all of my pain (trippin' trippin')
Oh-la-la (he’s trippin’)
La-dee-dah (mental slippin’)
Take these brains out of my way
Oh-la-la (he’s trippin’)
La-dee-dah (mental slippin’)
Take this world out of my way
Cause I'm trippin'
Feeling like I'm going insane (trippin' trippin')
Cause I'm trippin'
Help me break through all of my pain (trippin' trippin')
Cause I'm trippin'
Feeling like I'm going insane (trippin' trippin')
Cause I'm trippin'
Help me break through all of my pain (trippin' trippin')
