Insecurity Lyrics

There's a whisper in the corner of my mind

It claws and it bites and it's unkind.

Intrusive thoughts like thieves in the night

Stealing peace turning wrongs into rights.

Hyper fixation's a carousel ride

Round and round with no place to hide.

Manic waves crash over the calm

Pull me under and doing more harm.

I wear my temper like a badge of pride

Fighting tigers tearing skies.

But every time I lose control

I'm left with a hollow where the fire's cold.

Oh insecurity won't you let me be?

You're a storm in my chest a chain on my feet.

I wish you'd go quiet wish you'd retreat

But you're the shadow in the alley

I always meet.

A smile like a sunbeam lights up the room

But it's fragile fading all too soon.

Every wound I've carried every scar I've shown

They're etched on my sleeve flesh and bone.

And the triggers come like knives in the air

Sharp and sudden they're never fair.

I try to dodge and I try to flee

But they always find a way to eat at me.

I'm a fighter but I bruise like fruit

A contradiction in my pursuit.

The past won't heal the future's unclear

I'm a house of glass wrapped in fear.

Oh insecurity won't you let me be?

You're a storm in my chest a chain on my feet.

I wish you'd go quiet wish you'd retreat

But you're the shadow in the alley I always meet.

I scream at the silence but it won't scream back

It just echoes my failures and all the things I lack.

I'm a puppet I'm a slave to push and pull

To these impulses that make me cruel.

But I dream of a day just a moment of grace

When my thoughts aren't a battlefield I can't erase

Oh insecurity won't you let me be?

You're a storm in my chest a chain on my feet.

I wish you'd go quiet wish you'd retreat

But you're the shadow in the alley I always meet.

And if you could fade just for a while

Maybe I'd find myself underneath this pile.

But you're the weight I carry

you're the price I pay

Insecurity I guess you're here to stay…
