lyrics

help me, anxiety’s
been screwing with what i see
what i see
doesn’t seem
to be
what i wanted my reality to be
and it’s making me lose all my sleep
i’m sweating beneath my sheets
wanna dream of a way
to get through another day
at night, but it’s keeping me awake

i can’t feel my face
and i’ve got nothing to say
because my vocal chords
are acting like they just broke
like it came up
and struck me in the throat

fight me anxiety
i’ll take it in therapy
i’ll spin it’s head right round
like it makes me do now
but this time
it’s the one
hitting the ground
i’m not it’s goddamn lackey
it’s not gonna
take my chance to be happy
staying tucked away
to a corner of my brain
depending on how much xanax i can take

we’re not having another episode
of a show that we both know too well
where it’s holding back my breath
at a social event
because, the way it wants me to withstand
demands more than i can bear
and i’m just saying “it’s just not fair”
i don’t care, no matter how much it begs and pleads
i’m not helping anxiety

but it’s not the one who gets to declare
whether or not its thinks it’s fair
i don’t care
no matter how much it begs and pleads
i’m not letting it control me
no matter how much it begs and pleads
not ever helping anxiety
