[Chorus]
Melatonin, serotonin
Overloading, overdosing
Never slowing, slowly going
Overboard and always hoping
Never coping, stuck under an open ocean
Brain exploding, I am scolding
Maybe I should leave it open
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like a tornado stuck in place
So much happening but nothing's going anywhere, oh, yeah
It always took too long to learn how to slow down
Chasing shortcuts and serotonin touchdowns
Sometimes I feel like a stationary hurricane
These days are coming full
I had to look the other way
Hope that when they find me
I'll be on my way
[Chorus]
Melatonin, serotonin
Overloading, overdosing
Never slowing, slowly going
Overboard and always hoping
Never coping, stuck under an open ocean
Brain exploding, I am scolding
Maybe I should leave it, leave it
[Post-Chorus]
Leave it, leave it, leave it, leave it
Maybe I should, maybe I should
Leave it, leave it, leave it, leave it
Maybe I should leave it open
[Verse 2]
Running on six hours or less
Betraying my values and making a mess
Maybe I lost drive
I'm searching every day for relief
And chasing a break that I don't really need
Maybe the well's dry
This is like existing with no values set in place
Just floating around doing whatever I want in space
Never saving face, no moral code to obey
Cause nothing's ever wrong when there's no rules to break
[Chorus]
Melatonin, serotonin
Overloading, overdosing
Never slowing, slowly going
Overboard and always hoping
Never coping, stuck under an open ocean
Brain exploding, I am scolding
Maybe I should leave it
Melatonin, serotonin
Overloading, overdosing
Never slowing, slowly going
Overboard and always hoping
Never coping, stuck under an open ocean
Brain exploding, I am scolding
Maybe I should leave it
[Bridge]
Just existing takes time enough
I keep my eyes shut too much (Oh)
Just existing takes time enough (Yeah)
I keep my eyes shut too much
Just existing takes time enough (Ah)
I keep my eyes shut too much (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Melatonin, serotonin
Overloading, overdosing
Never slowing, slowly going
Overboard and always hoping
Never coping, stuck under an open ocean
Brain exploding, I am scolding
Maybe I should leave it open

daysormay released Just Existing on Wed Aug 04 2021.
It was actually a mashup of 3 older songs we wrote that never went anywhere”, Andrews explains. “We noticed there were parts in all of them that were cool, but the rest was just weighing them down, so we kind of Frankensteined all 3 ideas together into one.”
