The morning light bleeds through cracked blinds like an accusation
Every sound a seed blooming outside like a violation
I found some willpower to get out of bed but stopped in the doorway
Guess I'll stay under warm blankets and mope for the day
Anxiety occurs, some call it shyness, but it's self preservation
I avoid others to save myself the humiliation

I need space, I need space...

I'm introverted
Craving time alone
The world is too loud
Worn out by the crowd
People exhaust me
People exhaust me
Hello anxiety

Sometimes the walls breathe back my name as dust
A requiem for company I never learned to trust
I was always told to try and find my own voice
Guess the world would hear much better without all that noise
But people never listen, they want the ears of the weak
'Cause they just love the sound they make when they speak

I need space, I need space...

I'm introverted
Craving time alone
The world is too loud
Worn out by the crowd
People exhaust me
People exhaust me
Hello anxiety

Put a stranger in my kitchen and watch me starve to death
Start some bullshit small talk, I'll bolt till I run out of breath
Hell is company that lingers and people at breakfast
Cancelled plans bloom into something I can digest
I swear I love my friends, but I need 'em to leave
Or sit on the couch silently
Just play on your phone quietly

I need space, I need space...

I'm introverted
Craving time alone
The world is too loud
Worn out by the crowd
People exhaust me
People exhaust me
Hello anxiety
