## Music & Lyrics

Gracie talks about how she's very sad and lonely. She says that she's a burning fire but nobody notices it. She says she's tired of feeling sensitive and that she's always stuck in her lungs. She always lets herself down and that how she could block herself out.

'll say whatever you want, but I've become such a liar

I used to follow my gut, but now I'm just gettin' higher

It's been a couple of months since I turned to something violent

I should be happier now, so why do I feel this quiet?

[Chorus]

Now I only let me down

When there's no one else around

I've been thinkin' way too loud

I wish that I could block me out

I wish that I could block me out, out

[Verse 2]

I think I'm burnin' alive, but nobody sees the fire

'Cause when I open my mouth, I seem to be stuck in silence

And I thought of leavin' tonight, but I couldn't drive this tired

Plus, after all this time, I should be a pretty crier

[Chorus]

And now I only let me down

When there's no one else around

I've been thinkin' way too loud

I wish that I could block me out

Don't know how they see me now

Feelin' lost in every crowd

I feel ten feet off the ground

I wish that I could block me out

[Bridge]

And in my head, I make a mess of it

I'm gettin' tired of feelin' delicate

I look around to find it desolate

I used to try, but nothing's helpin' it

And in my head, I make a mess of it

I'm gettin' tired of feelin' delicate

I look around to find it desolate

I used to try, but nothing's helpin' it

Mmm

[Verse 3]

Wish I were heavier now, I'm floatin' outside my body

It's not their fault, but I've found that none of my friends will call me

Until I'm left to myself, it's honestly kind of funny

How every voice in my head is tryin' its best to haunt me

[Chorus]

'Cause now I only let me down

When there's no one else around

I've been thinkin' way too loud

I wish that I could block me out

Don't know how they see me now

Feelin' lost in every crowd

I feel ten feet off the ground

I wish that I could block me out, out, out

I wish that I could block me out, mmm

I wish that I could block me out
