[Intro - Gospel Choir] Is this my real day? Is this just anxiety? Caught in a thought-slide, no escape from my mind-state. Open my eyes, look up to the room and breathe… I’m just a stressed boy, I don’t need sympathy, Because I’m coping slow, coping quick, feeling high, feeling sick. Any way my brain goes doesn’t really matter to me… to me. [Piano solo] [Verse 1 - Emotional] Mama… I had a day. Had a spiral in my head, overthinking what I said, Mama… my mind just spun, But now I’ve gone and thrown my calm away. Mama, ooh… didn’t mean to lose my cool— If I’m not back from group again tomorrow, Carry on, carry on… like my mood is steady patterns. [Verse 2 - Emotional] Too late… my thoughts are numb. Sends shivers down my spine, panic rising all the time. Goodbye, everybody, I’ve got to breathe— Gotta leave it all behind and face my needs. Mama, ooh (any way my brain goes), I don’t want this ride… I sometimes wish my mind could take a rest awhile. [Guitar solo] [Verse 3 - Sprechgesang] I see a little silhouetto of my mood: Overwhelm! Overwhelm! Will it pull me into chaos? Thunderbolt of panic—very, very frightening me! (Just breathe now) Just breathe now (Just breathe now) Just breathe now, Just breathe now, gently—magnifico! I’m just a client, nobody judge me. He’s just a client trying to find stability. Spare him the stress from this monstrosity. Easy come, easy go—can I take it slow? Use a skill! (No!) We will not let you go! (Use a skill!) No! We will not let you go! (Use a skill!) No! We will not let you go! (Let me go!) Will not let you go! (Let me go!) Will not let you go! (Never let me go!) Ahhhhh! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! (Oh anxious brain, anxious brain) Anxious brain, let me go! My racing thoughts have a meltdown set aside for me! For me! For meeeeee! [Guitar solo] [Verse 4 - Resonant] So you think you can chase me and steal all my calm? So you think you can honk at me, geese, on the lawn? Ohhh baby… can’t do this, maybe— Just gotta get out, just gotta walk outta here! [Guitar solo] [Outro - Sad] Nothing really matters, anyone can see… Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me. Any way the geese go.
