NPR Tiny Desk Contest Entry "Ruminating Thoughts" by Rachael Hurwitz

VERSE 1 You are not your, you are not your thoughts. You are not your thoughts. That’s what I try to get myself to think. When my mind is busy mulling over problems that I know have no solution, that will never feel complete. Yet I still feel compelled to search for meaning, like there’s no amount of going round in circles that will ever be enough. like a needle in a broken record, playing the same groove over and over and over and over, getting stuck. And all the thoughts together make a lighted pathway, and I'd like to veer away, but my brain just won't relent, my brain just won't relent. I know I shouldn't always give my thoughts so much control, I need to focus on not focusing on them. So, I try and sometimes it helps to see myself as more of an observer, a receiver, a swinging door And when a bleak thought comes to my mind, I tell it... CHORUS You can come and go as you please, as you please. I won't get attached, won't get invested in your grief, in your grief. VERSE 2 I messed up, I messed up, like those other times I messed up, and now every time I mess up, that feeling is the same Fingers, slipping into all the wrong notes, and the wrong chords, and it feels just like my second grade recital once again And I dwell inside the moment, as I think of different outcomes if I didn't overthink, if I didn't always place So much pressure on myself to be perfect, 'cause it’s always that same pressure that only gets in my way But I should be kinder to myself After all, I am to everyone else So when these bleak thoughts feel like bricks on my heart, I tell 'em CHORUS 2 You can come and go as you please, as you please. I won't get attached, won't get invested in your grief, in your grief.
