Free-For-All
Free-for-all
I’m wasting my days on this earth
Every day goes by just as the same
My anxiety is so high when I leave the house
My heart pounds and pounds out of my chest
I breath deep but it hurts nevertheless
Only place I feel safe is in my nest
Cooped up like a jail bird
No feathers for freedom that’s absurd
Can’t leave the house or answer the phone
I get anxiety by looking at women
Thinking about death or nothing at all
I’ll let you in on a little secret:
In my head it’s a constant free-for-all
Everyones fighting and everyones screaming
Tedious thing is I’m the only one breathing
It only gets deeper and it only gets faster
Left arm starts hurting and my heart beats louder
Thump thump thump is all I can hear
Paper bag! Theres not one near
No one understands they think its ridiculous
Face death you cowards and all his militia
I just want it to end I just want it to stop
Live a normal life where my head just stops
Where I can stop thinking and I can stop breathing
Life is precious is what they say but its funny;
Because they don’t wake up every day fearing
No! Now is when I take control now is when it stops
Blade to the wrist I’ll have faced death
Once and for all no more free-for-all
