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…”
Beexii
