CHORUS
I’m not trying to burnout
I won’t do it, no
VERSE
Sleep it off, look around
Can only keep up if you’re wearing down
Have you tried monetizing all of your pastimes?
Or minimizing all of your downtime?
PRE
Can I be less if they want more?
Hide away from everything like money offshore
Rise, grind, sleep when I’m dead
What’s the point of living just to try and get ahead?
CHORUS
I’m not trying to burnout
I won’t do it, no
VERSE
Working when you’re not your best
Restless ‘cause you never rest
Have you tried motivating yourself to really try?
Or medicating yourself to optimize?
PRE
Size zero, tighten my belt
Still not thin enough to fit, but maybe it’ll help
Normalize debt and low self-esteem
Don’t you want your piece of the American dream?
CHORUS
I’m not trying to burnout I won’t do it, no
OUTRO
Don’t wanna live like that, wanna do more than get by
Don’t wanna work this, act like this, but I sympathize
Everybody’s scared that their moment’s gonna pass ‘em by
Don’t wanna burn up or burnout (no) just to feel alive
