Anxiety Lyrics

Picture being locked in a position

Your hands in chains, envision the words and just listen

There's no escape, it's just a state

There's no way to make an incision

The strangling hands of fate will mangle

You better go make a decision

There's no time to be shedding them tears

You actually gotta be making a difference

To top it off, you're fretting daily

You're sweating bullets and your color is fading

You're caught in thought. You try to cough

But that's no what's causing your throat to be aching

You're waking up every night in a cold sweat

Taking in life with the beat of your chest

You're wondering if tonight's the night

You'll be looking right in the face of death

Can't grasp your life, you can't fathom time

Is that why these questions are more

Often than not keeping you up?

They're mentally wrapping at your chamber door

Only this time, in this rhyme

We ain't talking about mother fucking black bird, amore

It's your mind that you hide in this blackness

Take it back, don't hide anymore! (It's time!)

Whether you know it or not

You can't trade your spot. You're all that you got

Your stomach’s in knots. Hands clammy

Your thoughts are racing. You've obviously caught

Up to yourself. You're running a race

With no finish line to the point you forgot

Your own brain is running this thing

You chose flight, you should have fought!

Yet again, you’re lost in the blackness

And you can't find your way

This veil is gradually sapping

Your strength away

Yet again, the hands of the darkness

Have swallowed everything

We've got to ignite the furnace

And light the way

And when my thoughts were building up high

I can remember when it was so easy to hide

Just push it aside, and when this darkness

Just seemed it wouldn't subside

I remember the days when I would just

Lift my eyes to the sky and I

Now seldom shield myself. So, subtle shit

Just shakes my shell and suddenly self-loathing settles

But I survive!

I surpass the scares and realize that I'm alive

I am Time. I exist with my enlightened mind

And I remind myself I'm superior

I appear strong on the exterior

But my insides are on fire

I’ve gotta extinguish the fear

Before to this edge I draw too near

So, listen here... I'm ready and willing to die

I'm ready and willing to die!

Yet again, you’re lost in the blackness

And you can't find your way

This veil is gradually sapping

Your strength away

Yet again, the hands of the darkness

Have swallowed everything

We've got to ignite the furnace

And light the way
