Juli- Michelle Poet Lyric

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
