this is one of the most personal songs i've ever written. sometimes being stuck in your own head can make you feel like you are drowning. if you relate to this song i just want you to know that you aren't alone.

I love u dude

Man this song is on my everyday playlist

This song probably hits people with depression hard

The lyrics are poetry. I remember I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It hits too close to home.

Sometimes it feels like this guy GETS IT like really GETS IT, he gets inside your feelings and makes a home and the lyrics stay forever

1:46 those expressions

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song ❤

I feel like Alec would be such a good best friend.

All of your songs are such bops

I’m so happy he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves.

People: what do you need? Auto tune? CGI? Alec: F I S H. T A N K

Can anybody just not notice how soft his voice is and beautiful it is?

You don't even need subtitles like he sings so clearrrrr omg

Fun fact Alec can't write a bad song if he wanted to

Actually, i don't remember when i found alec song But i'm happy cause i found this singer😌

THIS SONG NEEDS MORE RECOGNITION SO DOES THE ARTIST WTH

I can’t stop listening. This song is so addictive

Lyrics: [Verse 1] I don't live in California, I'll inform ya that's not where I reside, I'm just a tenant paying rent inside this body and I, Got 2 windows and those windows well I call them my eyes, I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes I think too much Ye I get so caught up I'm always stuck in my head I wish I could escape I tried to yesterday Took all the sheets off my bed [Chorus] Then I tied up my linen With five strips of ribbon I found, Scaled the side of a building, I ran to the hills, 'till they found me And they put me back in my cell All by myself Alone with my thoughts again Guess my mind is a prison And I'm never gonna get out [Verse 2} So they tranquilize me, analysed me Threw me back in my cage Then they tied me to an IV Told me I was insane I'm a prisoner, a visitor Inside of my brain And no matter what I do They try to keep me in chains [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes I think too much Ye I get so caught up I'm always stuck in my head I wish I could escape I tried to yesterday Took all the sheets off my bed [Chorus] Then I tied up my linen With five strips of ribbon I found, Scaled the side of a building, I ran to the hills, 'till they found me And they put me back in my cell All by myself Alone with my thoughts again Guess my mind is a prison And I'm never gonna get out [Bridge] Said even if it's true No matter what I do I'm never gonna escape I won't give up on hope Secure another rope And try for another day X2 [Chorus] Then I tied up my linen With five strips of ribbon I found, Scaled the side of a building, I ran to the hills, 'till they found me And they put me back in my cell All by myself Alone with my thoughts again Guess my mind is a prison And I'm never gonna get out
