Warning Lights are Dares

(Original Song by BIZZYNICCI)

Lyrics

I woke up laughing
At something I didn’t say
The room was spinning
But I felt fine anyway
I tied my thoughts
In a crooked bow
Said I’m good, I’m good
Like I wouldn’t know

I talk too fast
When I see the truth
Like if I slow down
It might catch up too
Every idea feels dangerous
Every plan feels fake
I don’t need saving
I just need a break

I’m not losing control
I’m just holding it wrong
There’s a difference
But it doesn’t last long
I swear I’m fine
I swear I’m sane
Just don’t ask me
To stand still again

I keep my secrets
Right on my sleeve
That way no one knows
What to believe
I make jokes out of panic
Call it charm
If I laugh first
It can’t do me harm

I know exactly
What I’m doing here
I just don’t care
The way I should, my dear
Every warning light
Feels like a dare
And I’ve never been good
At playing fair

I’m not losing control
I’m just dancing with it
Spinning circles
Till I can’t commit
I swear I’m fine
I swear I know
Exactly where this goes

Say it’s reckless
Say it’s dumb
Say I should’ve waited
I already jumped
If I crash
At least I moved
At least I chose
What I didn’t lose

There’s a moment
Right before the fall
Where everything makes sense
Or nothing at all
I live right there
On that thin line
Between I’ll be okay
And I’ll be fine

I’m not asking for help
I’m not asking for you
I just needed the noise
To tell me what’s true
If I burn a little brighter
Before I slow
That’s just how I learn
That’s just how I know
