Anxious Blade

[Verse 1] Awake inside another dream Falling far, losing teeth I grip the wheel, gaining speed Brakes faltering [Verse 2] Will I ever learn how the pattern starts? With sleep-heavy eyes and racing thoughts Hands tied to the shadow of all I've done Can't brace for the fall [Chorus] Feel the tightness in my chest like a hand around my heart Daylight starts to burn and doesn't stop Try to catch my breath Before it all is bringing me down again [Verse 3] Is this real or just a dream? Loop of false awakening All I want out of reach Mind faltering [Verse 4] How long will this go on before I start? Drive an anxious blade right through my heart Now I'm asking myself how it got this far A shot in the dark [Chorus] Feel the tightness in my chest like a hand around my heart Daylight starts to burn and doesn't stop Try to catch my breath Before it all is bringing me down again [Outro] Race against the clock Hesitate to start Lost in spiral thought Know it's my own fault With good intent, you know I tried Race against the clock A list too long, my eyes are tired Hesitate to start I feel the weight under the gun Lost in spiral thought Another day with nothing done Know it's my own fault
