[Verse]
Heavy chest, breath shallow, mind stuck in a gallop
Thoughts stampede, wild horses in a ballot
Every tick of the clock feels louder than my heart
Sweat beading like jewels, tearing me apart
Closed my eyes but the dark ain’t a haven
Waves crash inside, no peace, no saving
Pacing the floor, wear the carpet down thin
Boxing shadows, but they always seem to win
[Chorus]
Anxiety’s a thief, it’s stealing my calm
Gripping my mind, got me reading my palms
Heavy clouds, heavy clouds, hanging in my dome
Trying to find my way back home
[Verse 2]
Stomach’s a knot, no sailor could untangle
Spiraling thoughts like a kite with no angle
Words get stuck, like gum on my tongue
Chest tight, ribs caged, I can’t run
Counting breaths, one-two-three, that’s my mantra
But the pressure’s in my veins, no escaping this contra
Sweat cold as glaciers, melting in my grip
Life’s a tightrope, and I’m losing my grip
[Bridge]
Underneath the storm, I’m digging for a light
Fingers raw, but I’m clawing for the fight
Chains of my thoughts, they rattle and bind
But somewhere in the chaos, I’ll reclaim my mind
