Shout-out To My Anxiety Lyrics

August 15th, 2019

Initial evaluation reveals

Diagnosis codes F41.1, F40.10, and F32.9

It's gonna be a long day

Do you know what it's like to fear

Someone seeing you fear

Don't go away but don't come near

I know it's hard to stay right here

I feel as though I should say

I don't like having things this way

But when you grow up home alone

Anxiety tracks you all day

Shout out to my anxiety

There's more tear stains than pillowcase

Shout out to my anxiety

I can go without sleep for days

Shout out to my anxiety

It takes so much to keep him at bay

Shout out to my anxiety

A million thoughts rush through my mind

Every time it gets too quiet

So I need sound all the time

I get real drunk when I hear the whine

But I can hear you now you say

Why don't you go outside and play

There's lots of sounds in the city

But let me tell you it's not the same

Those sounds come from who knows who

Doing who knows what

I don't know, I should go

Just like a corner or a shadow

You can hide behind the sound

All of this noise like a blindfold

Blocking the world out from my ears

What made those sounds, why are they here

The ones most near cause most my fears

Oh

Shout out to my anxiety

There's more tear stains than pillowcase

Shout out to my anxiety

I can go without sleep for days

Shout out to my anxiety

It takes so much to keep him at bay

Shout out to my anxiety

Oh

I want you to think of the worst thing that you ever felt

Then think that's happening to everyone you love as well

There's nothing you can do

It's self-fulfilling prophecy

So tie the blindfold round my eyes

Let the squad fire on me

Oh

Shout out to my anxiety

Cry myself to sleep when I'm lucky

Shout out to my anxiety

Can't you see that this life is pain

Shout out to my anxiety

My own worst fears keep me enslaved

Shout out to my anxiety

Life just wouldn't be the same without you
