about

The assignment: “Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year. Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, yet only 36.9% of those suffering receive treatment. Now, between the political climate and the pandemic the suffering caused by anxiety is greater than ever. Include anxiety as a theme, or a word, in your song."

lyrics

v1:
It's not just terrifying
It's more like paralyzing // I can't move
-----
It's nothing like sadness
And don't you call it madness // That's not true

ch:
But it's not too late
You know this can wait until the dawn
But before we start
You should know it's hard... sometimes... to carry on

v2:
It's not so horrifying
The opposite of flying // It's running on ice
-----
A multitude of questions
We need no intercession // so don't think twice

ch:
But it's not too late
You know this can wait until the dawn
But before we start
You should know it's hard... sometimes... to carry on

br:
So take your foot off the gas and hit the brakes
This, too, shall pass, no matter what it takes
-----
So take your foot off the gas and hit the brakes
This, too, shall pass, no matter what it takes

v3:
It's not just paralyzing
It's more like hypnotizing // I can't see
-----
It's nothing like sorrow
Beg, steal, or borrow // It's all free

ch:
But it's not too late
You know this can wait until the night
But before we start
You should know it's hard... sometimes...
You should know it's hard... sometimes...
You should know it's hard... sometimes...
