[Verse 1]
Dying early isn't a choice
When all you can hear is background noise
Fighting the urge to sit in the corner and waste away
And you should believe that I manifested
I tried everything but left infested
With voices telling me I'm wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause' I've got oceans of people telling me you can't do it
Blue oceans of people who say that they've been through it
But they're so wrong
They don't know where I came from
Where the pain goes numb
[Chorus]
Cortisol rising in my system
Feeling things I know may never heal
Cortisol rising in my system, in my system
[Verse 2]
My stomach burns at the worst times
A distorted rejoice telling me that everything will be just fine
Bombarded with smiles and so much laughter
All of these people who still believe in happy ever after
[Chorus]
Cortisol rising in my system
Feeling things I know may never heal
Cortisol rising in my system, in my system
Cortisol rising in my system
Feeling things I know may never heal
Cortisol rising in my system, in my system
