“Stress” is the first single from Jake’s album Solace Part 1.
The song goes through Jakes thoughts and how his anxiety it’s kicking in and it’s too much for him to handle.
[Verse 1]
Ok, part of me is like "Who is this?" the other half that's who I miss
Always worry, always stress, feeling heavy in the chest
I know I talk about it way too much, but talking 'bout it, man, that's my crutch
These days, things I crave, it ain't money, it's better days
Been flying, seems like way too long, anxiety been way too strong
It comes, goes, it hits hard, but damn I've made it this far
So why quit? Why stop? Take a breath, yeah, why not?
Only thing that seems to work, had to put the blunt down, made it worse
Now I'm on a come down on the verse, I'm feeling run down in the dirt
When it comes to sundown that's a curse, sometimes I live my life reverse
In my thoughts, that's a place I feel so lost
Digging deep, maybe I should get to sleep, I miss the peace
[Chorus]
Running out of time, saying what's on my mind
Been a lonely kinda night, I know Imma be fine
Running out of time, saying what's on my mind
Been a lonely kinda night, I know Imma be fine
Running out of time, saying what's on my mind
Been a lonely kinda night, I know Imma be fine
Running out of time, saying what's on my mind
Been a lonely kinda night, I know Imma be fine
[Verse 2]
"Imma be fine"
That's what I tell myself when I get caught up inside my mind
Caught up inside my mind
Caught up inside the feelings of dread and terror
'Til I look in the mirror, see who I really am
Like why the fuck I fear it?
Do as you wish, take my soul, man, this shit is getting old
Wash over me like a wave of secrets that I never told
Promises I never kept, sorry for the things I said
I was busy staying lost inside the problems in my head
These problems that I got are probably only in my head
I gotta crack the code I wrote in these encryptions that I've said
Big mess, big test, sometimes I feel helpless
Nicotine inside my bloodstream, that don't help stress
Now I gotta go outside, this shit is hectic
I wear my mess just like a necklace
I drift to sleep, then resurrected
This hopelessness is what I'm left with
Check the checklist, feeling reckless
Need a setlist, I'm upset that I said this
Wait, no regrets, I say that but I stay depressed
[Chorus]
Running out of time, saying what's on my mind
Been a lonely kinda night, I know Imma be fine
Running out of time, saying what's on my mind
Been a lonely kinda night, I know Imma be fine
Running out of time, saying what's on my mind
Been a lonely kinda night, I know Imma be fine
Running out of time, saying what's on my mind
Been a lonely kinda night, I know Imma be fine
