Anxiety (mh parody of Africa)

[Verse 1] I hear the drums Echoing tonight But my thoughts are loud They won’t be quiet She hears my fears In my therapy I say “I’m fine” Then talk endlessly [Pre-Chorus] The racing thoughts Are always calling me Convincing me This one’s “different” this week [Chorus] It’s gonna take a lot To drag me out of bed There’s nothing that The group chat hasn’t said I bless the calm Down in anxiety Gonna take some time And use my coping sheet [Verse 2] The restless nights Keep rolling through my head I Google things They told me not to read The stress shows up Right when I lie down My brain decides Now’s the meltdown round [Pre-Chorus] The racing thoughts Are always calling me Certain this is doom (Statistically) [Chorus] It’s gonna take a lot To drag me out of bed There’s nothing that A grounding script hasn’t read I bless the calm Down in anxiety Gonna take some time And rate it one to three [Bridge] Hurry brain, we’ve practiced this before This is not an ER floor Hurry brain, check the facts again It’s just Tuesday Not the end [Verse 3] I hear the drums Echoing once more But now I pause Like we practiced before Name five things Feel my feet Sip some water Nod politely [Final Chorus] It’s gonna take a lot To drag me out of bed There’s nothing that My therapist hasn’t said I bless the calm Down in anxiety Gonna take some time But hey — I used my skills [Outro] I bless the calm Down in anxiety I bless the calm Down in anxiety
