She says, "Go on, tell me." So I do, I talk about these devils. That sudden swarm inside, I speak of the paralyzing misbeat Of a stressed out chest. "That's your anxiety?" It takes me over, controls me, Helpless behind a steering wheel Of a maniac's mania driven horror But I'm stuck for the ride. "And who is this other?" Nameless. Just a foul thing. There were others, masks A sea of voices, drowning me out High tide and its sink or swim "Go on." When I'm calm, its quiet. But I know they slither on, The engrainimg entrenching thoughts Of cruelty thats not my own. "You're afraid?" I'm wandering about the darkness With fiendish things in mind A pitiful puppet of anxiety Waiting for the end of times

Lying on the Couch
She says, "Go on, tell me." So I do, I talk about these devils. That sudden swarm inside, I speak of the paralyzing misbeat Of a stressed out chest. "That's your anxiety?" It takes me over, controls me, Helpless behind a steering wheel Of a maniac's mania driven horror But I'm stuck for the ride. "And who is this other?" Nameless. Just a foul thing. There were others, masks A sea of voices, drowning me out High tide and its sink or swim "Go on." When I'm calm, its quiet. But I know they slither on, The engrainimg entrenching thoughts Of cruelty thats not my own. "You're afraid?" I'm wandering about the darkness With fiendish things in mind A pitiful puppet of anxiety Waiting for the end of times
