line them up and
hope to shoot them down
when they’re hit it’s
me that hits the ground
I can’t sleep
my head is aching
I can’t speak
my tongue is failing
I can’t breathe
I’m suffocating
that’s just me
and so I wear my
worries on my sleeve like a badge of pride
and I can’t get to sleep at night
future’s size near
bursts my tired mind
I am paralysed
heart has lost all reason
I can hear it beating
how I hate this feeling
lungs have lost all rhythm
there’s a panic in them
wouldn’t call this breathing
this my safeguard, keeping me from hurting
all those I love, guiding my decisions
keeping cautious, I’m a better person
for them I know, so I wear my crippling
worries on my sleeve like a badge of pride
and I can’t get to sleep at night
who would I even be
without my anxiety?
I’d maybe breathe
a little easier, would help me keep
from losing me
amid my panic and my worries
I would always sleep so deep, so easily
who would I even be
without my anxiety?
I’d maybe breathe
a little easier, how would I keep?
from losing me
without my panic and my worries
I don’t want to sleep so deep, so easily
