Not today
No,I won/'/t flip that switch
Anxiety, you hit and run
You left me damaged
the damage is now done.

You/'/ve overstayed your welcome
You/'/ve drained me spiritually dry
You/'/ve been the cause of many symptoms
and left me in the wake to die
You/'/ve led me down a road
that was lost in the snow
now I/'/m stranded
trying to find my way home

Anxiety, you poltergeist
an unwelcome burden
in my head and in my mind
Anxiety, you hurricane
You checkered flag
set to flame

You/'/ve been a worthy competitor
I won/'/t deny you that
You had me defenseless
Beaten to a pulp with your bat
You/'/ve led me down a road
that was lost in the snow
now I/'/m stranded
trying to find my way home

Fight or flight, it/'/s done tonight
I will no longer allow
myself to worry about the past,
that/'/s that, no way to change it now
and in regards to future plans
I won/'/t let you stress me out
It/'/s time I had the upper hand
I/'/ll remove my fear and doubt

I/'/ll remove you.
I/'/ll erase you.

You/'/ve led me down a road
that was lost in the snow
now I/'/m stranded
trying to find my way home
And if home is still where the heart is
they/'/ll be glad to find me safe
Done with your attacks and panic
A smile finally on my face.
And they will know that I love them
My drunken past trying to dull your pain
Will not sway me
You will not win.
Anxiety.
