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
