Anxiety

Sometimes I lose my mind, lost inside my head.

Frozen in fear as I'm fading through time. A normal everyday man who's been stuck in his mind. With subconscious strength from the inner influence I could modify my life through the things I'm pursuing. But the things I've been doing keep on holding me back. I've got anxiety and silently I oppose the attack.

If I chose to relax then my life would improve. If only it were as simple as a choice you could choose. There's no choosing, it's confusing, the confusions got me lost. I'm abusing all this time that I've been using at a cost. It's impossible to get it back, I guess I gotta live with that, I guess if I admitted that then maybe I would change.

If I could change then I'd be doing things that nobody expected. I'm sorry for my energy I just don't feel accepted. I expect it, it's respected, but don't think I'm unaffected. I've been going through these things that I hope you don't connect with.
