Mental Marathon Lyrics by Runaway Richochet

Diminishing Returns

2024

[Verse 1]
I'm just so agitated
In my dilapidated state
I've got too much on my plate
When I get berated
By my ingrained self hate
I shut down and get crushed by the weight
[Verse 2]
It's not that easy shooting the breeze
I feel that shaking in my knees
And I forget how to breath
Loneliness lasts an eternity
My savior’s lost in the sea
When will they rescue me?
[Chorus]
When I'm running mental marathons
Where every thought's a cataclysmic outcome
All solutions spoken in a foreign tongue
I overstimulate into a doldrum
I'm always running mental marathons
Where I'm the only thing that I'm running from
Every opportunity could load the gun
To start the race
Or kill my sobriety
So, thank you, anxiety
[Verse 3]
It's not that complicated
I get fixated on my worth
A penny buried in the dirt
It's just a fabrication
My heart's been rocking a shirt
Sewn from the times that I've been hurt
[Verse 4]
Trust is fickle when it breaks
You can't just patch it up with tape
After you instigate
So, can I trust myself in this mental state?
I break promises in haste
To intoxicate
[Chorus]
Instead of running mental marathons
Where every thought's a cataclysmic outcome
All solutions spoken in a foreign tongue
I overstimulate into a doldrum
I'm always running mental marathons
Where I'm the only thing that I'm running from
Every opportunity could load the gun
To stop the race
Or kill my sobriety
Thank you, anxiety
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
I'm always running mental marathons
Where every thought's a cataclysmic outcome
All solutions spoken in a foreign tongue
I overstimulate into a doldrum
I'm always running mental marathons
Where I'm the only thing I'm running from
Every opportunity loads the gun
To stop the race
To kill my sobriety
Thank you, anxiety
