Doom Scroll Spins

(male)
Slow it down.
Quiet the room.
(male)
Scroll keep turnin', mind get thin,
Every headline pull me in.
I tell myself it's duty-bound,
But every share just spin me 'round.
Clock keep tickin', breath get tight,
Thoughts stay loud late at night.
I feel important when I speak,
But peace get weaker every week.
(male + female harmony)
I don't need to carry it all,
I don't need to answer the call.
I can step back, I can choose,
What I let stay in my view.
(male + female harmony)
Don't let it spin me, spin me out,
Round and round inside my head.
I protect my mind right now,
I stay still instead.
Don't let it spin me, spin me thin,
Every post don't need my breath.
I don't owe the noise my skin,
I stay still instead.
(male)
Opinions stack like unpaid rent,
Every thought feel urgent.
I confuse motion with control,
Spinnin' feel like savin' souls.
But worry ain't the same as care,
And anger don't make truth more fair.
I can hold the line inside,
Without lettin' chaos drive.
(male + female harmony)
I don't need to prove my heart,
I don't need to tear apart.
I can stay aware and calm,
With my feet on solid ground.
(male + female harmony)
Don't let it spin me, spin me out,
Round and round inside my head.
I protect my mind right now,
I stay still instead.
Don't let it spin me, spin me thin,
Every post don't need my breath.
I don't owe the noise my skin,
I stay still instead.
(female lead, male harmony)
Still water, clear sight,
I don't drown to show I fight.
Quiet strength, steady mind,
I don't lose myself to time.
(male)
Growth ain't numbers on a screen,
Truth don't need me wound up mean.
I can help without the burn,
I can learn without the churn.
World keep spinnin', that's okay,
I don't have to spin that way.
I choose focus, I choose rest,
I choose what I let in my chest.
(male + female harmony)
Don't let it spin me, spin me out,
Round and round inside my head.
I protect my mind right now,
I stay still instead.
Don't let it spin me, spin me thin,
I don't live inside the stress.
I don't owe the noise my skin,
I stay still instead.
(female)
Stay still.
(male)
Stay clear.
