this song came about after listening to
"Make It Out Alive" by Malachiii. (go listen rn!!)

I suppose it could also be partially inspired
by "Let Go" by Beau Young Prince too.
both have similar themes and I relate
to both, so either way, it works lmao.

mental health isn't spoken about enough,
and I wanted to write a song about the anxiety
that I have. remember, everyone's experiences
are different, so not everyone - and maybe even
no one - will relate to this song. if someone doesn't
experience the same things as you, that doesn't
mean they are any less valid. everybody who goes
through this is heard and seen.

remember, you are not alone. we'll make it out alive.
even if you don't believe me now, we will.

[ verse 1 ]

It hit me like Cupid's arrow

Smothering me in sorrow

Fear is next to follow

It's got unlimited ammo

Like an inescapable shadow

My world is getting narrow

I feel so goddamn low, out of control

[ pre-chorus ]

And my chest is getting tighter

I wish my world were a little brighter

A flicker of tranquillity put out like a flame in a lighter

[ chorus ]

Anxiety is a bitch

Every time it hits

Feels like I'm being thrown into a ditch

Should really call my therapist

Thought I could keep it how it is

This is just another emotional glitch

[ verse 2 ]

Put my headphones on

Taking deep breaths, my sanity's gone

I listen to the beat to calm down

[ rapid inhaling and exhaling / brief instrumental ]

Need someone around

Can't be alone, it's not good for me now

My thoughts are so loud

This fear's gonna make me drown
