Ignore the Fears

I'm losing it, not doing it Take me anywhere but here The anaconda's squeezing again I just want all to disappear Stop these tears, ignore the fears I need to get out of this place Or he might crush my aching bones And they'd all see my face I'm hiding it, not confiding- it Isn't my fault that I'm this way Others have their problems too So i'm just tucking mine away But i'm losing it, not doing it My flesh is tingling with regret I actually want to run away It'd be easy, no one's missed me yet I know that these aren't normal thoughts I need someone to talk me through But all I want is to be alone Because what does talking really do? The anaconda's crushing me But i'm too scared to make it known I'm losing it, and not choosing it But still I keep this face of stone. I'm hiding it, not confiding- it Isn't my fault that I'm this way Others have their problems too So i'm just tucking mine away But i'm losing it, not doing it My flesh is tingling with regret I actually want to run away It'd be easy, no one's missed me yet

This is far from a face of stone. This is sending a clear and meaningful message about life, worldly troubles and human emotions. All written in superb style, flow and immense depth... A fav...
