Faux Alarms - Burnout Baby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Caffeine in my veins, another sleepless night
Scrolling through my phone, everything's not alright
They say I'm living fast, but I'm barely alive
Just another mess in this messed up design

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't keep up this pace, my heart's about to break
Smiling through the day while my hands still shake

[Chorus]
I'm a burnout baby, running on empty
Too wired to sleep, too tired to dream
Burnout baby, sweet catastrophe
Watch me fall apart so aesthetically

[Verse 2]
Teacher's pet turned rebel, now I'm just confused
Got straight A's in trauma, what's left to prove?
They sold us fairy tales, now the truth burns through
Got a degree in debt and anxiety too

[Pre-Chorus]
Every notification feels like a knife
Living for the likes while I hate my life

[Chorus]
I'm a burnout baby, running on empty
Too wired to sleep, too tired to dream
Burnout baby, sweet catastrophe
Watch me fall apart so aesthetically

[Bridge]
F*ck your meditation apps
F*ck your wellness traps
I don't need another lecture
About how to fix this mess
When the world's on fire
And I'm just so damn tired

[Final Chorus]
I'm a burnout baby, running on empty
Too wired to sleep, too tired to scream
Burnout baby, sweet catastrophe
Watch me fall apart perfectly
Just watch me fall apart perfectly

[Outro]
Still too young to give up
Still too numb to feel
Still too smart to buy in
Still too burnt to heal
