My mind's a lute with strings too tight
They hum and buzz all through the night
Each pluck a thought I can't ignore
A tune of doubts forevermore
Strum too hard it starts to break
Softly plays but still keeps me awake
The melody swirls it twists it bends
Overthinking never ends
The frets are worn from countless tries
Seeking answers in the lies
Every chord feels wrong yet right
An endless song that clouds my sight
Strum too hard it starts to break
Softly plays but still keeps me awake
The melody swirls it twists it bends
Overthinking never ends
What if the note was never intended
Or the harmony’s just apprehended
A fleeting echo in the air
Who cares too much about what's there
My fingers falter on this lute of mine
Seeking solace in the rhyme
A journeyman lost on the fretboard wide
Each overthought note where I confide
Strum too hard it starts to break
Softly plays but still keeps me awake
The melody swirls it twists it bends
Overthinking never ends
