(V. 1)

Hesitation, Trepidation,

No motivation,

I’m so stuck

In these contemplations

I have the feeling

Of my back against the wall

For no reason at all

My legs are jelly,

When will I finally fall?

(Chorus)

Yes, I understand. I get that

These thought they lack

The confidence I know I have

But it’s real hard to flip my switch of thinking

Just like that

I want to be free

Of this anxiety,

But I can’t compete,

With the darkness it sets free.

How can this be true?

How do I push through?

I've got to break the chains,

Of my mental aches.

(V. 2)

Here we are once more.

My brain is sore.

I’ve felt this way before,

But it seems to get worse

Time, and time, and time again.

I can’t speak at all,

Without seeming so small,

And my blood pumping so fast.

My heart feels like glass.

Even the tiniest words

Or tiniest mistakes

Will break it to pieces

And shatter along with me.

(Chorus)

Yes, I understand. I get that

These thought they lack

The confidence I know I have

But it’s real hard to flip my switch of thinking

Just like that

I want to be free

Of this anxiety,

But I can’t compete,

With the darkness it sets free.

How can this be true?

How do I push through?

I've got to break the chains,

of my mental aches.
