Emotional Trauma Sucks

Therapeutic Anxiety

(Intro)
Have you ever been so anxious that it reversed back upon itself just to help us on the days when life feels so torturous.
Some days man.... I swear it feels like we gotta pay a visit deeper within.
Pay a visit to your mind palace and get lost when you run out of sanity within your chalice.
You're not the only one who gets lost in their mind when the world treats them unkind

(Verse 1)
Today my anxiety quite simply got in my way
And I didn't know what to do or where to hide you know don't you?
Those days you get so anxious you just wanna run away from all this
And say fuck it because you become so disenfranchised and sick of this shit
Now each and every one of your emotions is legit but you simply can't quit
Some days when the anxiety becomes too much I like to use my emotional crutch
I learned a trick from Hannibal about owning a mental palace
For whenever you run out of liquid sanity within your crystal chalice
But have you ever been so damn anxious that you actually started to feel accomplished?
Well I've got a story to tell you on how to weaponize whatever you see as true
And I guess you could say it all starts here on this day

(Hook)
I got that therapeutic anxiety
I can feel it welling up inside of me
That's why I try to stay high like constantly
As I try to fight this constant sobriety
And just in case you didn't hear me I'll say it a bit more loudly
I got that therapeutic anxiety
I can feel it welling up inside of me
That's why I try to stay high like constantly
As I try to fight this constant sobriety

(Verse 2)
Some of these days I get so much anxiety that I start to feel some of the ways it builds up inside of me
And then I sit in amazement and wonder as it turns me into a blender I meant blunder
Simply to think the whole world hates me because of this damn anxiety
It's like constantly fighting a mental battle for supremacy
But I do believe in the old saying that repetition is the key to unlocking history
And some of these days I build up so much anxiety within me that it reverberates back upon me until internally the anxiety starts to feel like some form of fucked up therapy
Sorry for such a long winded rant but without letting it out in poetry I just can't
But I guess I should break down this song before I break down where I went wrong
So I'll just say that I don't envy the night nor the day because either way I still feel this therapeutic anxiety

(Hook)
I got that therapeutic anxiety
I can feel it welling up inside of me
That's why I try to stay high like constantly
As I try to fight this constant sobriety
And just in case you didn't hear me I'll say it a bit more loudly
I got that therapeutic anxiety
I can feel it welling up inside of me
That's why I try to stay high like constantly
As I try to fight this constant sobriety

(Verse 3)
Now let's end this on a happy note with a gift to the future of some happy hope
The best way to relieve my anxiety is honestly anime because they always know just what to say
I mean just the other day I saw anime teaching us about the meaning of life
And I mean each and every way is how anime helps me each and every day
It shows me that I'm not the only one who deals with complications and silly inclinations
If only poets could go into hibernation and return back out to a hyper nation
Like dude where you been? Rather than oh, it's him.
I've seen the dark side of the world and my world came unfurled
The worst time to have anxiety is when it seems to make sense to me logically
Like saying I can't eat today because I don't have a way
That's anxiety trying to kill me
Whenever you feel like people would be better off without you
That's anxiety saying things untrue
Have you ever wanted to die just to escape your own mind?
That's anxiety
Have you ever wanted to lose your mind just so you didn't have to care about words unkind?
Well you aren't the only one who's ever wished they could go blind just so they didn't have to see the unkind

(Outro)
All I wanted to do here was maybe help you overcome some of your fear
And to show you how anxiety can be better than therapy
You've gotta ask yourself if what you've done is good for your health
Be it mental or physical I never want you to do anything detrimental
I've seen too many celebrities end up in the hospital after people were so cruel
So I'm begging you kindly to listen to me and do your best to let the anxiety be part of your musical therapy.
Because at the end of the day if you're my friend I just want you to be happy anyway
