[Verse 1]
Mmm, what's it like
To not have to think about it?
It seems nice
Not a care, so quiet
Maybe I'm consumed by my mental
Does it hurt me? Maybe, oh, well
If I medicate, would it help me?
'Cause I'm hurting, I feel unwell

[Pre-Chorus]
You know how I feel
You've told me before
Although my fears are real
The things I fear are not

[Chorus]
I know it doesn't matter
I know it doesn't matter
None of this even matters
I know it doesn't matter
I know it doesn't matter
None of this even matters

[Verse 2]
Check that
Have to check that the oven is off
This happens every night
Sometimes you tell me off
Maybe I'm consumed by my mental
Does it hurt me? Maybe, oh, well
If I medicate, would it help me?
'Cause I'm hurting, I feel unwell

[Pre-Chorus]
You know how I feel
You've told me before
Although my fears are real
The things I fear are not

[Chorus]
I know it doesn't matter
I know it doesn't matter
None of this even matters
I know it doesn't matter
I know it doesn't matter
None of this even matters

[Verse 3]
You say
"Why are you thinking these things?" (These things)
How do I even explain? (Explain)
"You're scared of almost everything" (Everything)
I know and it's really a drain (A drain)
Hide under a pillow (Pillow)
Something's at the window (Window)
I'm too scared to check though
Now I'm crossing my fingers
Flicking off the switches
Is my house filled with witches?

[Outro]
What is my mind?
What is it like
To unwind?
What's it like?

BENEE

Stella Rose Bennett (born 30 January 2000), known professionally as BENEE (formerly Bene), is a New Zealand singer-songwriter who debuted in December 2017 with “Tough Guy.” Music had always been part of her life, with a family history in theatre. BENEE’s first instrument was a saxophone, playing it for several years, along with the guitar.

BENEE started posting music to Soundcloud in her final year of high school (2017), catching the attention of producer Josh Fountain. The pair went on the work together in several of her singles, including break-out single “Soaked” which was featured on triple j’s hottest 100 (2018).

After spending two weeks in a communications course at the Auckland Institute of Technology, Benee realised she wanted to be making music full-time.
