Verse 1:
You wandered in here all alone
You couldn’t leave your problems there at home
You’re wondering what’s going on
And me, I might seem distant cuz I’m gone
Chorus:
Take a little time out
Take a minute to yourself
Don’t let it go south
You can put it on the shelf
And Scream and shout
Cuz you did it for your health
Never should have opened up your mouth (X2)
Verse 2:
I’ll try to calm myself down
Been running try to play with this whole town
I’m strange; the strangest one around
I’m in the deep end of my senses and I’ll drown
Chorus:
Take a little time out
Take a minute to yourself
Don’t let it go south
You can put it on the shelf
And Scream and shout
Cuz you did it for your health
Never should have opened up your mouth (X2)

Bridge:
They’re
Billowing Over (X4)
Rap Break:
I told them I’d try to knock it off
Turned around and just turned it up a notch
Keep cooking because some of us like it hot
Do you think you’re really one of them?
Chances are you’re not
Do you think you’re really one of them?
Chances are you’re not
(X4)
Middle 8:
When he came out he was just a, a calm little guy, he just you know, it was like it was like you disturbed his world. Ha, ha. No crying, he just came out and he was, he’s just kind of, I don’t know he was very content
Anything other than perfect is gonna be reason enough for my demons to hate me
Cuz lately the voices are rising in volume and beginning to alter my mood into crazy
Time in the nick of it, live in the thick of it,
Earth, sick of it, sell you a brick of it
That’s the road that I’ve been taking
That’s the road that I’ve been taking
Bright and strong, Universal Shine
As the Day is long, hyperactive mind
Hyperactive mind (X2)
That’s the road that I’ve been taking
Hyperactive Mind (X2)
That’s the road that I’ve been taking
Hyperactive Mind
