about

Another largely personal piece of music. While I'm a trauma survivor suffering PTSD, more often than not, it manifests as utterly U S E L E S S anxiety.

lyrics

Perhaps it's why I'm such a late bloomer,
But I'd much rather have a fucking tumor;
something you can point to,
something to remove,
another thing you can't relate to,
that's tryin' hard to prove.

Lurking 'neath the surface,
my plus one at every event;
reminding me of awkward times we've not yet spent,
a self sustaining cycle, with Dexter's Dark Passenger on the helm,
your Mustang's zero to sixty's got nothing, when I'm overwhelmed

I'm singing 'bout anxiety, Lord it's sucking my vitality,
I'm singing 'bout anxiety, and not privately,
I'm singing 'bout anxiety, Lord it's sucking my vitality,
I'm bitching 'bout anxiety and psychiatry.

Don't wanna do the laundry,
don't wanna take a shower right now;
been in these clothes for three long days...
don't wanna go out in the world,
don't feel like hangin' around inside,
I never cease to be amazed by all the ways I can sabotage what I'm working on...
...what I'm working on.
This fucking anxiety.
It's got a hold on me.

I'm singing 'bout anxiety, Lord it's sucking my vitality,
I'm singing 'bout anxiety, fuck anxiety... fuck anxiety!
