about

Ever since my head injury in 2013, I’ve struggled with post concussion issues and debilitating migraines. Living with a chronic illness can sometimes take you to very dark places, and I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety over the years. This song was born out of that frustration.

lyrics

I’ve lived my life in technicolour
Didn’t follow the rules
I thought that I could do anything
I put my mind to
Chin up took a chance
Had my head held high
Dedication
It used to be alive

And my rose coloured glasses are smashed into smitherines
It turns out I’m not as invincible as I seem

Why do I feel like I’m going insane (Ahhhhh)
Forget my heart, it’s my head that’s breaking
I really feel like I’m losing touch (Ahhhhh)
The filters broke and I’m feeling way too much

Look at you sleeping
Like the world isn’t burning up
Where is the kindness
Oh where is the love
Head down zombie walk
We’re all breaking down
Isolation
It doesn’t make a sound

And I used to feel like I could do anything
But now it seems I’m terrified of everything

Why do I feel like I’m going insane (Ahhhhh)
Forget my heart, it’s my head that’s breaking
I really feel like I’m losing touch (Ahhhhh)
The filters broke and I’m feeling way too much

Its not my heart its my head
