My Anxiety

Go away anxiety you can't keep taking over me
I got this bottle in my hand and you won't take it away from me
I'm second's away now from drowning in my untimely disparity
And all you can do is sit in my face and laugh 
You never give me much of a chance
And that's not fair you see
All I want to do is just get rid of you 
But you continue to live inside of me
I'm desperate now, it's like I'm crawling under barbed wire through the mud
I'll put this razor to my vain
Just to release this darkness from my blood
Can't you give up, after all you've taken what's left of my soul
You don't think you can let up on the tight hold
Around my neck so tight and I'm choking 
When it's all said and done you'll be the only one joking
If there is any type of saving it needs to be now
I'm facing up, but pretty soon I'll be facing down. 
Damn. My anxiety
