## Lyrics

*Some lyrics were transcribed from a video snippet and TikTok video.*
*The rest of the lyrics were taken from the music video description*

Why are we sitting in silence

Wondering how we can beat all the violence

I've been asking for some kind of guidance

'Cause some things in life you just simply can't finance

And your mother, she told me to ride it

But I think I'm too late and I'm sinking now

And I need somebody to pull me out

I don't wanna go out today

I wanna lie in my bed so that I run away

From what the internet says

All the playground games

I don't feel like feeling sad today

Better pull myself together

How longs it take to figure it out?

The politician ain't gonna help you

He's only gonna try and take your house

'Cause that's the thing I know 'bout the mornings

They're coming and there ain't no way out

Like a hammer in a murderer's courtroom

Gravity's gonna bring you down

So, I don't wanna go out today

I wanna lie in my bed so that I run away

From what the internet says

All the playground games

I don't feel like feeling sad today

I don't wanna go out tonight

I wanna be right here, right by your side

While all the people are cruel

You're an hour away

Don't feel like feelin' sad today (ooh, ohh)

Don't feel like feelin' sad today (ooh, ohh)

Don't feel like feelin' sad today (ooh, ohh)
