Lyrics

Intro

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Nah-nah, nah-nah

(Yeah)

Verse

You leave crumbs on the pillow, I follow like a magnet

Late-night radio humming, your name on every habit

Little feet on the rooftop, skitter in my head

Tiny thievеs with your face, steal my sleep in threads

Pre-chorus

I try to lock the door but the alley knows my footprints

Turn the lights up brighter, still your shadow prints

Mind keeps rehearsing lines that I should never say

Caught a thousand times and I still replay (still replay)

Chorus

Rats in my head, rats in my head, oh-oh

Brainrot again, brainrot again, yeah-yeah

They nibble at the quiet, they chew up the plan

Rats in my head, rats in my head, oh-oh

Brainrot again, brainrot again, uh-huh

Can't tell if I'm losing you or if I'm just the scam

Verse

I keep feeding little stories 'til they're fat with flavor

Every tiny rumor grows a tail, makes it braver

Pocketful of apologies, keys that never turn

I talk to empty doorways, watch the rafters burn

Pre-chorus

You wink like a streetlight, I trip and count the sparks

Replay the same small fight until it leaves a mark

My chest is a theater where the marionettes dance

I clap for the disaster, give it one more chance (one more chance)

Chorus

Rats in my head, rats in my head, oh-oh

Brainrot again, brainrot again, yeah-yeah

They nibble at the quiet, they chew up the plan

Rats in my head, rats in my head, oh-oh

Brainrot again, brainrot again, uh-huh

Can't tell if I'm losing you or if I'm just the scam

Bridge

Shh — hush now, hush now (shh, shh)

They sing in little tongues, they promise what I want

Scratch the floor, scratch the past, watch the sugar melt

I know it's silly logic, still I melt, still I melt (still I melt)

Chorus

Rats in my head, rats in my head, oh-oh

Brainrot again, brainrot again, yeah-yeah

They nibble at the quiet, they chew up the plan

Rats in my head, rats in my head, oh-oh

Brainrot again, brainrot again, uh-huh

Can't tell if I'm losing you or if I'm just the scam

Chorus

Rats in my head, rats in my head, oh-oh

Brainrot again, brainrot again, yeah-yeah

They nibble at the quiet, they chew up the plan

Rats in my head, rats in my head, oh-oh

Brainrot again, brainrot again, uh-huh

Can't tell if I'm losing you or if I'm just the scam
