Auld Lang Xiety

Anxiety strikes, jump in to survive
Push it back down, don't show it outside
That's never helped, and it's not helpin now
But try it again, the only way you know how

Over and over, again and again
Repeating sad patterns, unto what end?
Stony in silence, and frozen in fear
Like a moth drawn to flame, I used to live here

Turn up the volume so you can't hear your voice
Force out the silence so you don't have a choice
If you can't hear the question then you cannot choose
It's a choice in itself, a new way to lose

Where did you live, far away in your head?
Denyin your emotions and living in dread
Stony in silence, and frozen in fear
Like a moth drawn to flame, I used to live here

Creating a conflict that takes place within
Two voices competing, yet nobody wins
Trying to control life by living inside
With imagin'ry friends ... who fight all the time

Where did you live, far away in your head?
Denyin your emotions and living in dread
Stony in silence, and frozen in fear
Like a moth drawn to flame, I used to live here
Like a moth drawn to flame, I used to live here
Like a moth drawn to flame, I used to live here
