Anxiety

from Safe and Sound by Tumbledown

lyrics

Love, I’m so busy looking for something better
I’ve missed perfection slipping out the door.
Love, I get dizzy writing these cryptic letters.
I’ve lost direction, closing every door.

Love, there’s no reason to worry
You’re here in my heart when my vision is blurry
And all of this panic becomes a simple choice.
But Love, how I am filled with obsessions!
No one gets answers when asking me questions.
And I just get lost in the vibrations in your voice.

And I can never understand
The wicked things people demand
They wanna tear you limb from limb or make you beg for mercy from their dirty hand.
I wanna know that all is fine.
I wanna touch you all the time.
I wanna roam within the heads of men and pour compassion on their minds.

Love, don’t you dance with liars
Trying to set your world on fire!
No, they’re just desperate for feeling
They cry when you stand and they kick when you’re kneeling
Love, life is full of pressure
Don’t let its cloud of tortures catch ya
Though I’m told there’s reason somewhere in the fog.

None of us will sleep tonight
Our present fears eclipse our sight
We can’t see clear because we hate the light.
So none of us will sleep tonight.

All my life panic, rest, panic.
All my life is out the back door.
All my life is slipping out sideways.
And all this panic makes me sick.
