Lyrics:
Tension high. No sleep.
I can't seem to get a break from my anxiety.

These feelings are never ending and can't seem burn it down.
It's like pinching needles. I feel heavy. I could drown.
This is so much for me. I cannot break the cycle that I can't ignore.

Embarrassing how I feel today ,
It is time for a major change.
It's okay to say it!
Hate that you are this way.
Try another bar. Get rid of anxiety.

I can't breathe, and I want to scream. But the words won't come outta my mouth.
I can't explain. I don't know why I complain.
For the tension in my stomach, I swallow a bar. I lose my memory.

Prescriptions make me feel like I'm dying.
Why do I feel confused?

You don't understand how I feel. You can't make fun of me.
War zone. Everyday. My head. Feel like you're dead, live in a daze.

Tension high. No sleep.
I can't seem to get a break from my anxiety.
One day I'm gonna fucking snap.
Do you think the world will remember me?
