[Verse 1]
Can't write the songs I used to
'Cause I'm lucid in my state of mind
I cut some ties, I tried to
But there's wounds that I can't leave behind
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be high
Like cinnamon Mulholland Drive
My enemy's on the inside
It's bleeding me, bleeding me dry
[Chorus]
That's my baggage
This shit gets hard to manage
I'm carrying a casket
There's no other way
My heart's so calloused
I'm broken, bruised and damaged
Gave up on feeling balanced
But dammit, that's my baggage
My heavy, heavy baggage
[Post-Chorus]
(My heavy, heavy baggage)
(My heavy, heavy)
[Verse 2]
I wish it wasn't all true
I'm so cynical and miserable, stay away
God, after all I've been through
It's a miracle I can even pray
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be high
Like cinnamon Mulholland Drive
But I just can't be who I'm not anyway
[Chorus]
That's my baggage
This shit gets hard to manage
I'm carrying a casket
There's no other way
My heart's so calloused
I'm broken, bruised and damaged
Gave up on feeling balanced
But dammit, that's my baggage
My heavy, heavy baggage
[Post-Chorus]
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
My heavy, heavy baggage
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
(My heavy, heavy baggage)
[Break]
Can't write the songs I used to
Woah-oah-oah
[Chorus]
That's my baggage
This shit gets hard to manage (Yeah)
I'm carrying a casket
There's no other way (There's no other way)
My heart's so calloused
I'm broken, bruised and damaged
Gave up on feeling balanced
But dammit, that's my baggage
Yeah, that's my baggage
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
Oh yeah
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
My heavy, heavy baggage

I am not perfect. In fact, I’m quite messy. I could say life is messy, which it is, but part of becoming an adult has been acknowledging the messiness that I have too. “Baggage” is the first song where I stand in the mud and triumphantly stomp my feet in it. I can only hope that others feel empowere...
