Matters

I've got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Tough skin covering my bones

Veins and muscle holds it all together

But tough skin shivers in the cold

Veins and muscle lose control

I'd tell you that I'm so tired of these expectations

I'm so tired and I'm so afraid

I'm not any of the things you make me out to be

I'd tell you that I got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

I got so many matters in my head

Don't say it doesn't matter

'Cause I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Yeah, stone face covering my fear

Stone cold but I'm still a human here

With all this angst and ambition

I'm my own opposition

If you could only listen, ah-ha

'Cause I'm so tired of these expectations

I'm so tired and I'm so afraid

I'm not any of the things you make me out to be

I'll tell you that I got so many matters on my mind

Got so many matters

And I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

I got so many matters in my head

Don't say it doesn't matter

'Cause I'm trying not to let them weigh me down

Trying not to but they weigh me down

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm trying not to but they weigh me down

I'm trying not to but they weigh me down
