Paralysis by Analysis

My breath starts racing, as my mind starts pacing
I can’t seem to find a way out of this faking
If I keep everything I’m feeling bottled inside
Then the bottle will break with what I’m trying to hide
But can you break what’s already broken?
Will these feelings fade if they’re left unspoken?

My heart is broken and I’m the destroyer
My life is controlled by the same paranoia
It haunts me; it hurts me; they hate me; it breaks me
“He said, that she said...” well, I said I’m crazy
But how do I face the truth I’m not giving?
I’m not scared of dying, I’m scared of living

My hands start shaking, as my voice starts breaking
I can’t control these worries I’m always creating
Just lock myself in my room; turn the music up loud
I’ve got to get out of my fucking mind now

My heart starts pounding, as fear starts surrounding
I can’t get away from these lies I tell myself
I obsess over everything; I’m a mess over nothing
How do I stop myself feeling like this?
What a world it would be if these thoughts didn’t exist
