Shaking, shaking 
Cold sweats take over 

Anxiety, anxiety 
I thought you'd fade away as I got older

Sick to my stomach, even though it's empty 
Why do you take over, there's nothing wrong

Everything's okay, 10, 9, 8
Counting down always seems too long 

Deep breaths, in and out
My mind consumes, oh Carly you're dying 

Don't you see 
If they say you're alright, darling they are lying

You can't fight me 
I'm tougher than you think

Do you feel me now ?
Are you starting to shake? 

You can't run from me
I'll always come back

Anxiety, is my name 
Don't you see, everything is bad

Oh you don't see it?
You don't see the pain?

Here, be sick to your stomach and begin to sweat
Go hide your face in shame

You can't beat me 
I will always win 

People surrounding you, being buried alive
I'll make you think of everything wrong, and even how you sin

Do you feel me now?
Taking over you're existence 

Oh darling, so you think you're ok? 
You will not win this protest 

You can't escape me
I will always come creeping back in your mind

Taking all of your happiness 
Taking away your ability to shine

Oh everything seems to be okay?
Here let me turn off every light

The good times slowly fade
Every bit of happiness is out of sight

Darling oh darling 
Don't keep lying

I will always win 
For my name is Anxiety 

The walls are closing in
Breathing is too hard

You're thinking about every breath you take
You think you have control, here let me take over every part 

Every part of your life
Every part of your days

So you believe them?
When they tell you it's just a phase? 

No, no, no
You can't win against me

I take away all the good 
Can't you see?

Everything is going right 
But I promise there must be something wrong 

I won't just disappear 
I'm here to stay, until your happiness is gone 

Don't fight it
Because I'll always be here

When you think I'm far away
Darling, just wait, I promise I'm near
