Constant anxiety
Did I lock the doors and windows?
Did I tell my boyfriends I love them?
Did I remember to take my medicine?
Did I tell my parents goodnight?
Anxiety
Anxiety
Anxiety
Just constant anxiety
Have I lost control of myself?
Have I turned everything off?
Have I forgotten to eat again?
Have I slept the poison off?

Everything could go wrong
But everything could go alright.
How am I supposed to know?
I just wait in suspense and fright.
Waiting to see what happens.
Waiting to see how it all plays out.
Hopefully it goes good.
And the light of day doesn't go out.

Shadows creep up on me.
Hiding in the corners.
They could be life givers
But they could also be life hoarders
I hide away.
Away from the light of day.
Wait for nightfall to come out and play.

People try to look for me.
People try to talk to me.
People look and walk for me.
But I know they don't give a fuck about me.

Something will go wrong today.
I can feel it.
But nobody will listen to what I have to say.
So I conceal it.
I feel sick.
What's going on?
Why am I so anxious?
WHY WON'T THIS ANXIETY GO AWAY?!?!
PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!!!
Please... anxiety just leave me alone...
I'm tired of this.
So anxious...

Anxiety
Just stop...
