Heart Rate from Unstuck by blackbird

My pulse matches the rhythm of the song playing on my phone
I almost want to keep it high enough, it makes me feel a little less alone
My childlike intuition spreads to every part of me
A decision without consultation is never easy

Panic over everything with oh so little grown
Makes me wonder if rationality is a feeling I'll ever know
My own brain is incapable of the very thing it preaches
I know what is right and wrong but I don't know if I'll ever believe it

My heart rate goes up and my survival skills go down
Every time something else comes up I find myself all turned around
I never have the answers for so many simple things
The overwhelming feeling of doing something wrong always lingers
In my head, in my heart, I feel myself falling apart
The need for reassurance makes everything so hard
And I'm angry at myself for it

Sad over things deep down I know were my fault
Reliving moments constantly, I can't bare the fall
Of my emotions so suddenly, I can't shift any blame
I'm so ashamed that my tongue twists speaking my own name

I don't know how to heal from anything that hurts me
I rely on the desire for the happiness I need
Contradictions and dissonance send me straight to confusion
Every little thing seems to leave me bruised and broken

My heart rate goes up and my survival skills go down
Every time something else comes up I find myself all turned around
I never have the answers for so many simple things
The overwhelming feeling of doing something wrong always lingers
In my head, in my heart, I feel myself falling apart
The need for reassurance makes everything so hard
And I'm angry at myself for it
