My Blues Are A Lifting

Started noticing it, without much sleep, the entire night      
Then would reappear, at the crack of daylight        
Fuzzy feelings, fainting and wheezing        
Falling asleep at the wheel        
Losing ones appetite for a meal        
Hot sweats one moment, then went to freezing        
        
My blues are a lifting        
‘Cause the way I now feel        
They are a shifting        
Still take my blue pill        
It makes me fit into society        
Mind you, not entirely over this anxiety.        
       
Came across the blues        
Very early on, in my life        
Didn’t know the answer        
It came with no clues        
Now I’m in all sorts of strife        
Captured in my head, like an exotic dancer        
It can make one feel, like the living dead        
Maybe it’s one feeling, that’s better unsaid        
       
My blues are a lifting        
‘Cause the way I now feel        
They are a shifting        
Still take my blue pill        
It makes me fit into society        
Mind you, not entirely over this anxiety        
       
After being locked away        
Just so I wouldn’t stray        
Coming home, but still in despair        
Family and friends, didn’t really care        
Taking my pills, paying the bills        
Been down to the valley and over the hills        
My ups and downs, now sort of predicting        
I don’t seem to be all at sea, like an anchor drifting        
       
My blues are a lifting        
‘Cause the way I now feel        
They are a shifting        
Still take my blue pill        
It makes me fit into society        
Mind you, not entirely over this anxiety.
