LYRICS





(Yeah)



Hey! Leave me alone (Leave me alone, leave me alone)

Panic-stricken, handle business, not a joke, yeah Manners missin', travel different, no control, yeah Time to listen, time to zip it, keep it closed My description, highly gifted, take some notes, yeah



Lack of interest, why'd you visit? Hit the road, yeah I'm kinda twisted, so keep your distance, be a ghost Yeah, see I'm inventive, but quite the menace, you ain't know? Well then I'm offended, let's jog your memories, here we go, yeah I went from nobody to kinda famous Hide my plaques inside the closet, I just can't explain it



My wife, she tells me that she's proud and thinks that I should hang 'em But I just leave 'em on the ground right next to my self-hatred Yeah, yeah, mental health, where's my mental health? Diagnosed with OCD, what does that mean? Well, gather 'round That means I obsessively obsess on things I think about



That means I might take a normal thought and think it's so profound (Leave me alone) Ruminating, filled balloons are full of doubts Do the same things, if I don't, I'm overwhelmed (Leave me alone) Thoughts are pacing, they go 'round and 'round and 'round



It's so draining, let's move onto something else, fine (Oh) (Leave me alone) I'm in the game, but they don't even know it Like I'm undercover and don't want to blow it I come out of nowhere, they don't even notice The flow is so cold, you would think it was snowin' (Oh) (Leave me alone) I'm under the weather, but wind isn't blowin'



I got an umbrella for difficult moments You got to admit it, I'm very devoted I'm out in the rain, but they don't always help me, so I… (I, I)

Hold up my balloons and cover up my face (Face) I can feel them weighin' on me every day (OK)



I should let 'em go and watch 'em float away (-way) (Float away) But I'm scared if I do, then I'll be more afraid (More afraid) Tell them how I feel, but they don't want to change (Don't want to change) Tell them how I feel, but they remain the same (Same) Loosen up my grip, they say that's not okay Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy, leave me alone! (Oh!)





Ayy, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! (Leave me alone!)

Woo, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! (Leave me alone, leave me alone) (Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)





I hate when they debate if we're underrated We're so overlooked that they're lookin' over our numbers, Nathan (Leave me alone)



We don't do enough interviews or go out in public lately We don't post enough on our socials To keep the buzz from fading (Leave me alone)



Let it fade, yeah, let it fade Once it's decimated, then you drop a song outta nowhere And all the fans embrace it (Leave me alone)



Then the buzz will surface again, it's part of my operation I don't need advice from my doubts right now End of conversation (Leave me alone) Shut your mouth, yeah, shut your mouth Better tone it down, close it now If you make a sound, I'ma change your dial (Leave me alone) Funny how they be acting loud, comin' on it





now

It's floating 'round Man, the kid is wild, pretty wild, true (Leave me alone) I'm kinda funny but don't really show it I keep it together but have a disorder I go to my room and I sit in my corner And talk to myself in a language that's foreign (Leave me alone) I think of a rhyme and I have to record it But know if I don't, I'll wake up in the mornin' And question my life again, always avoiding I hate to be different, but hate to be normal, so I… (I, I) (Leave me alone)

Hold up my balloons and cover up my face (Face, face, face) I can feel them weighin' on me every day (Oh)



I should let 'em go and watch 'em float away (Float away) But I'm scared if I do, then I'll be more afraid Tell them how I feel, but they don't want to change (Want to change) Tell them how I feel but they remain the same (Remain the same) Loosen up my grip, they say that's not okay Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy, leave me alone! (Leave me alone, leave me alone)

Ayy, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! (Leave me alone, leave me alone)



Woo, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! (Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)

Remember back in "NO NAME," I said fame called? (Yeah, yeah) Told you I hung up, it kinda felt wrong (Leave me alone) (Wrong, wrong) Finally called him back, we didn't talk long (No) He asked me how I'd been, I sent him this song (Leave me alone) (Quiet, quiet, quiet) Yeah, think he took offense, he kinda seemed off (Off) I texted him that night to ask what he thought (Leave me alone) (Quiet, quiet, quiet)



It took a couple days to get a response But once I finally did, he said this song sucks (Leave me alone) (Quiet, quiet, quiet) Here are the symptoms, couldn't miss 'em, wrestle with 'em Then I penny flip 'em, bounce 'em back up nowhere, you should get some (Leave me alone) (Quiet, quiet, quiet) Who you dissin'? Move the switch and don't come in the kitchen You should listen, cookin' records for my hands are blisterin' So persistent, don't forget this, hold the tension, soul is bendin' No pretendin', open-ended, low percentage, so demented (Leave me alone) Whole consensus, flow tremendous, no apprentice, no incentive Show intensive, so possessive, tone aggressive, watch your step when I… (I, I) (Leave me alone)





Hold up my balloons and cover up my face (Up my face) I can feel them weighin' on me every day (Yeah, every day) I should let 'em go and watch them float away (Yeah, float away) But I'm scared if I do then I'll be more afraid (More afraid) Leave me alone (Yeah), leave me alone, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Leave me alone, leave me alone (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Leave me alone, leave me alone (Yeah, leave me alone)



Leave me alone, leave me alone, ayy, leave me alone! (Leave me alone, leave me alone)





Ayy, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! (Leave me alone, leave me alone)



Woo, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! (Leave me alone, leave me alone)



Ayy, yeah

Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! (Leave me alone, leave me alone)



Woo, yeah

Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone
