[Intro]
Yeah
Eyes open at 3 AM
Ceiling talking like an old best friend
I ain’t slept since God knows when
[Verse 1]
Hands shake
Heart race
Smile on
Same face
Phone up
Dark screen
Scroll fast
Still freeze
Tell ’em, "I’m fine"
Thumbs type lies
Group chat laughs
I go quiet inside
Hood up, headphones, fight my head
Whole damn crowd, still alone instead
[Chorus]
Anxiety, you don’t let go of me
Got me drowning in a glass of water, barely breathe
Anxiety, got your hands around my teeth
Bite my tongue until it bleeds so they don’t see
Anxiety, you living in my chest
Turning every little thought into a car wreck
Anxiety, you never pay the rent
But you move into my mind like it’s heaven-sent
[Verse 2]
[low vocal register]
Clock ticks loud like artillery
Every little plan turns enemy
Overthink love, overthink hate
Overthink texts I never sent anyway
[lift into autotune]
Therapist says breathe in, breathe out slow
I nod my head, then I choke on the smoke
Mama says pray, Dad says "man up"
I just stare down at my coffee cup
Black ring round it, same round my eyes
Wear my trauma like a cheap disguise
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
Tap-tap-tap on the steering wheel
Red light, white knuckles on the steel
If I drive off, would the noise go still?
(Yeah, I know I won’t, but I think it still)
[full voice]
Tell me, "It’s all in your head"
But my ribs feel bent
Like a cage that’s sick of the lion it kept
I’m mad, I’m sad, I’m tired of this guest
But I wake up and it’s sitting on my chest (again)
[Chorus]
