It controls me

[Intro]
In the shadows, under the light,
There's a battle that rages, just out of sight.
Whispers of doubt creep in slow and sly,
It’s a thief in the night, it won't let me fly.

[Verse 1]
Every morning, I wake with a weight,
A heavy chain that won’t break; it’s fate.
Thoughts looping round, like a record on spin,
Trying to find the calm, but chaos creeps in.

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the world through a glass so fogged,
Every effort I make, it just feels so clogged.
A step outside? It’s a mountain to climb,
Racing heartbeats keep me trapped in this rhyme.

[Chorus]
Anxiety, it’s a puppet on strings,
Dictating my every move, what tomorrow brings.
Drowning in thoughts that tied up my soul,
Trying to break free, reclaim back control.

[Verse 2]
Friends say "breathe, it’s all in your mind,"
But they don’t know the shackles, the binds I can’t find.
Every smile feels plastic—hiding the fear,
Each laugh echoes emptiness, loud and clear.

[Pre-Chorus]
I count down the minutes, wait for the calm,
A battle of will wrapped in a soothing balm.
Reaching for dreams while I’m stuck in the grind,
Trying to outrun the shadows I find.  

[Chorus]
In the shadows, under the light,
There's a battle that rages, just out of sight.
Whispers of doubt creep in slow and sly,
It’s a thief in the night, it won't let me fly.

[Bridge]
But oh, I’m more than these fears and these doubts,
I will rise from the ashes; I’m stronger, no doubt.
With each passing moment, I’ll find my own way,
Take back my power, let the sunlight stay.

[Chorus]
Anxiety, you won’t hold me down,
I'm breaking these ties, I will stand my ground.
Dancing through shadows, I'll find my light,
Turning the darkness, aiming for flight.

[Outro]
So here's my anthem, loud and clear,
I’ll embrace my chaos, won't live in fear.
With every step forward, I claim my heart,
Anxiety, you won't keep me apart.
