Anxiety

(album: Inner Signals - 2018)

The taste of fear is so bitter on my tongue
A familiar feeling, so hard to break free
There's only so much I can do when the world is
Screaming at my face
I need to escape, break these chains
So hard to breathe for days and days
Every hour on the clock feels like I'm wasting away
Get up off the ground and keep fucking pushing
Wipe the dirt from your face, this is not the end
It's the final round, you're not fucking losing
Don't turn your back on the world, this is not the end

I never thought I could feel so empty
So empty down inside, oh God, it eats me alive
A voice inside my head, these thoughts, they tempt me
I want to get away, get away from this world
I never thought I could feel so empty
I have to win this fight and put this shit all behind
A voice inside my head, these thoughts, they tempt me
I have to fight these demons to get through this alive

A fire burns so slowly inside my chest
Please someone save me
And every time I die a little more inside
What's the answer?

Drown this fear, rid this anxiety
I'm freaking out inside but here I sit so silently
Drown this fear, rid this anxiety
Push me to my limits, try to keep my sanity
Drown this fear, rid this anxiety
I'm freaking out inside but here I sit so silently
Drown this fear, rid this anxiety
Push me to my limits, try to keep my sanity

I never thought I could feel so empty
So empty down inside, oh God, it eats me alive
A voice inside my head, these thoughts, they tempt me
I want to get away, get away from this world
I never thought I could feel so empty
I have to win this fight and put this shit all behind
A voice inside my head, these thoughts, they tempt me
I have to fight these demons to get through this alive

Grab it by the throat till I win this fight
Nothing's stopping me now, nothing's bringing me down
Grab it by the throat till I win this fight
Smother every bad existing thought I've ever had
