Anxiety

from Among the Swarm by mrmoth

/

lyrics

Your breaking point is close at hand
And your nerves are strung across the deeds of man
The moment you feared is finally near
And they're calling out for failure for all to hear
As a cloud of dust sets across the land
Now you're ready to die or make your stand
Well you better stand fast or it won't take long
Til they've torn the earth for what you have wrong

Now they're coming in hard and they won't let loose
Til you're broken down, til you're underfoot
With the things you dreamed you could never mean
Come flowing out your mouth like the thing could bleed
It's all back stronger than you faced before
The risks you took mean so much more
Even though you know you're losing hope
You'll throw it on the pikes of anxiety

You've been ridden hard and put away wet
And it didn't take you long to see what that gets
The less it cost, the more you've lost
And it never served the needs of your failing cause
Your mind is caught on what your heart's beset
And you're grinding your teeth on what love begets
You'll never hear it with your ear to the ground
The end is found just a short step down

Now they're coming in hard and they won't let loose
Til you're broken down, til you're underfoot
With the things you dreamed you could never mean
Come flowing out your mouth like the thing could bleed
It's all back stronger than you faced before
The risks you took mean so much more
Even though you know you're losing hope
You'll throw it on the pikes of anxiety
