Anxiety

[instrumental] [verse] The walls are breathing, I feel them closing in Clock hands twitch, every second wears thin Footsteps echo down a hallway that bends But it never, never, never ends [verse] Shadow in the mirror, won’t meet my eyes Static in my chest, broadcasting lies Every crack in the ceiling’s a fault line [pre-chorus] Pressure building, no release Mind is racing undernea- [chorus] I can't be dealing with anxiety My head's stuck in the dark where the light can't reach I can’t be dealing with anxiety Scratching at the walls where the sky should be [instrumental] So why can't the light reach? So why can't the light reach? [verse] It's knocking like an angry fist at the door But I don’t wanna answer anymore Words unravel, tangled in my tongue Every song unsung, unsung, unsung [verse] Walking a tightrope stretched over broken glass Every other thought a blade moving too fast Trembling hands in a nervous prayer To nothing, to no one, To the empty thin air [pre-chorus] Pressure building, no release Mind is racing undernea- [chorus] [emotional vocals][painful] I can't be dealing with anxiety My head's stuck in the dark where the light can't reach I can't be dealing with anxiety Scratching at the walls where the sky should be [instrumental] So why can't the light reach? So why can't the light reach? [bridge] Spin me in circles! Tie me in knots! Turn up the volume! Until the signal rots! Keep my feet away where the cracks run deep! Eyes wide open but I'm too scared to sleep! Cause the nightmares keep coming! They never stop coming! And I can never understand! Why they always end the same! With these tears of blood that stain! Why am I!... LIKE THIS! Why am I!... LIKE THIS! Why am I!... LIKE THIS! Why am I!... LIKE THIS! Why am I!... LIKE THIS! [instrumental] Does the universe hate me? [outro] I don't know But... I swear, I swear, I swear... This is where the sky should be... But you're not with me... No you're not with me. ----------------------------- If you enjoy what you hear, a like and follow would be appreciated! ✨
