Intro “Why does it feel like this… I can’t… breathe…” (soft inhale, heartbeat pulse) Verse 1 Something’s wrong but I can’t explain Room feels tight, like it’s closing in Hands go cold but my skin’s on fire Try to speak but I’m choking on air (soft echo: “what is this…”) Every second stretching too far Noise fades out but it hits too hard Standing still but I’m slipping fast Like I’m breaking without a crash Pre-Chorus Heartbeat loud in my chest again Too fast, too much, I can’t pretend Try to breathe but it won’t go deep Something’s got a hold of me (echo: “hold of me… hold of me…”) Chorus Is this anxiety… or am I losing control? Why does my body feel like it’s letting me go? Shaking, breaking, can’t steady my bones I’m here but I don’t feel home Is this anxiety… or something worse inside? Why do I feel like I’m running but stuck in one place? Say I’m okay but I know that I’m not I’m fighting a war that nobody can spot (“mm… can’t breathe… oh…”) Verse 2 Vision blurs, everything’s too bright Every sound cuts sharp tonight Try to ground but I drift away Like I’m here but I couldn’t stay (whisper: “stay… stay…”) Body weak but my mind won’t stop Climbing higher, I can’t get off Tell myself that I’m safe, I’m fine But it don’t listen this time Pre-Chorus Breathing in but it’s not enough Air feels thin, my chest is locked Try to slow it, count it down But I’m lost in it right now Chorus Is this anxiety… or am I losing control? Why does my body feel like it’s letting me go? Shaking, breaking, can’t steady my bones I’m here but I don’t feel home Is this anxiety… or something worse inside? Why do I feel like I’m running but stuck in one place? Say I’m okay but I know that I’m not I’m fighting a war that nobody can spot Bridge Tell me I’m safe… Tell me I’m fine… Why does it feel like I’m running out of time? Hands on my chest… Trying to breathe… But the air won’t stay inside of me (whisper, layered) “calm down… calm down…” “I can’t…” Chorus Is this anxiety… or am I breaking apart? Why does it feel like this came out of the dark? Shaking, fading, losing my ground Screaming inside but I don’t make a sound Is this anxiety… or will it pass me by? Tell me I’m safe, tell me I’ll be alright Hold it together, just one more breath I’m still here… I’m not gone yet Outro “Breathe… just breathe…” (heartbeat slows) “I’m okay… I’m okay…”
