Something is gnawing at my brain
Making me go insane
What should I do?
Will I make it through?
I don't know what's ruining me
But I hope that it'll set me free

I hope I can escape this place soon
Life isn't always just a silver spoon
Nothing ever just comes your way
People like us have to work for it everyday
But my heart is pounding super fast
Maybe today will be my last

Virginity is like a beautiful rose
You love the petals as they pose
But as you grow older you start to hate the thorns
As they make you feel more of a scorn
Anxiety is like a dying flower
It slowly comes through in your tower

Darkness wraps around your spine
As it crushes you and kills your lifeline
Thoughts of worry won't leave you alone
Tired of anxiety casting its stones
But as happiness pulls me into a blanket
I still feel myself trapped in your basket

I don't hate you that much
Since you make me aware of such
Wake me up every single morning
Know that a day of sadness is coming
Maybe I'll slit a few pieces of my skin
To make myself forget the voices and my sins

Anxiety, why can't you just shut up?
I have seriously had enough
Calm yourself down a little bit
I don't want to be crushed in this pit
Just want to feel warm once more
But you're not saving that in store

You must know what it's like to kill a mockingbird
Because your presence is making me unheard
