The demon named anxiety
Came knocking yesterday
I opened the door unsuspectingly
It was intensely dark outside
Coiled around his merciless fingers was my delicate soul
Making my heart pound hard like war drums
***Count to the tenth
Take a deep breath
Maybe I can breathe the demon to death***
War drums still pulsing violently
I guess that did not work
With no escape in sight
The helpless sheep took over
Leaving me defenseless
Exposed, I resolved to the only thing I do well
***I’m riding this out proud
I’m writing this aloud
I’m sleeping this sound***
And that was when a ghost named insomnia came stirring

The demon named anxiety
Came knocking yesterday
I opened the door unsuspectingly
It was intensely dark outside
Coiled around his merciless fingers was my delicate soul
Making my heart pound hard like war drums
***Count to the tenth
Take a deep breath
Maybe I can breathe the demon to death***
War drums still pulsing violently
I guess that did not work
With no escape in sight
The helpless sheep took over
Leaving me defenseless
Exposed, I resolved to the only thing I do well
***I’m riding this out proud
I’m writing this aloud
I’m sleeping this sound***
And that was when a ghost named insomnia came stirring
I don't usually feel this way, not sure what's up.
