Braden Bales - CHRONICALLY CAUTIOUS Lyrics

[Verse 1]Again, we'll beg for the smallest part, I know it's notEnough to change what's been going on, but it's all I gotI misjudge and switch up, from target to targetMiscalculate what it is that I wantSwimming in circles, in search of substanceIn shallow waters, it didn't mean nothing[Pre-Chorus]How can an optimist be cynical?[Chorus]So, if I'm honestI think I'm beginning to question how much I want thisOverloaded serial stresser, I'm sitting nauseousPanic on a loop in my head, I'm chronically cautiousHow can I get off this?To keep it simpleI think I've been willingly following every impulsePicturing a future, then tossing it out the windowSuffocate the fire I started right when it kindlesPassionate but fickle[Verse 2]The source of my serotonin is only digital'Cause my reality's fading, I guess it's typicalCan switch back, it's mismatched in dopamineGet whiplash, it hits fast, controlling meSwerving in silence, I'm all aloneIn traffic, I'm trapped and I can't find home[Pre-Chorus]I'm an optimist who's cynical(That's abysmal)[Chorus]So, if I'm honestI think I'm beginning to question how much I want thisOverloaded serial stresser, I'm sitting nauseousPanic on a loop in my head, I'm chronically cautiousHow can I get off this?To keep it simpleI think I've been willingly following every impulsePicturing a future, then tossing it out the windowSuffocate the fire I started right when it kindlesPassionate but fickle
