Anxiety Till Death Do Us Part
There's a tinker in my finger and it taps on the table
Fast pace and impatient
Annoyed and self efficient
There's a voice in my head and it screams and screams
I filter it through my brain and out my mouth
Translation rusty but good o'l trusty
There's a fly in my face and my eyes follow it wherever it lands
Back and forth or all around
Sometimes I'll see faces on the wall and shadows in the stalls
There are needles in my lungs and it causes me to wheaze
Constricting when I try to speak
Causing things to go terribly wrong
There's electricity in my bones
It zaps me and causes me to jolt and flinch
Even causes me to do a private dance when the folks are out
There's a foul stench in my throat
I breathe and breathe but it won't even sway
It runs down and spoils the goods
Making the butcher sniff and stay away
There's a tingle in my toes and it makes me anticipated
But when it goes up my spine I'm far from fine
In fact I become a wee bit anxious
Feeling the spiders crawl as I lay in bed
Checked to see if there were any but nothing was there
There's a trap on my neck and it threatens to snap
Causing every word I say followed by whiplash and backfire
Or shutting the door that caused so many confused and my skin to sweat
There's a drum in my heart and it beats and beats until the last gasp
Thrumming between my lungs and brimming the rib cage
Causing a sudden attack when I lock eyes with a stranger or a friend
Till death do us part shall I feel this way
If I were to talk, the walls will come crumbling down
If I were to move, it's off to the lions den
Every time I walk through the halls in broad daylight
Stuck in a crowd where eyes pop and follow me home
Till death do us part, my anxiety shall stay
In my head and in my mind
Till death do us part
I'll keep locking all the doors
Fast pace and impatient
Annoyed and self efficient
There's a voice in my head and it screams and screams
I filter it through my brain and out my mouth
Translation rusty but good o'l trusty
There's a fly in my face and my eyes follow it wherever it lands
Back and forth or all around
Sometimes I'll see faces on the wall and shadows in the stalls
There are needles in my lungs and it causes me to wheaze
Constricting when I try to speak
Causing things to go terribly wrong
There's electricity in my bones
It zaps me and causes me to jolt and flinch
Even causes me to do a private dance when the folks are out
There's a foul stench in my throat
I breathe and breathe but it won't even sway
It runs down and spoils the goods
Making the butcher sniff and stay away
There's a tingle in my toes and it makes me anticipated
But when it goes up my spine I'm far from fine
In fact I become a wee bit anxious
Feeling the spiders crawl as I lay in bed
Checked to see if there were any but nothing was there
There's a trap on my neck and it threatens to snap

Till death do us part, my anxiety shall stay
In my head and in my mind
Till death do us part
I'll keep locking all the doors
