I wish I could say I take it all in stride ,
That despite all the fear I could be mollified,
But I'm terrified of making any mistake
I’m fluent in excuses,
The truth is I’m a fake,
I'm young, but I don't feel young, I feel lesser ,
The pressure makes it impossible to process my successes,
The stress is draining ,
I have no training, no guide,
I try to hide it ,
But I'm overwhelmed and under qualified...
Got a lot on my mind lately,
Thought the suit and the mask would make me
Into the man that they all see...
lotta anxiety...lotta anxiety...
My brain is racked,
Head packed with irrational fears,
My body’s tapped, strapped down by watchful peers,
Cause from the outside I look lazy, no hustle, static for years,
They can’t make out the muddled mess of a million moving mental gears,
I’m not slacking, I’m paralyzed,
Not relaxing, I’m petrified,
Everything fights for your attention when your senses are magnified,
It’s relentless,
Nothing ends it,
Can’t vent about this mental bout without having friends quit...
Got a lotta anxiety,
Thought the suit and the mask would make me
Into the man that they all see...
lotta anxiety...anxiety...
Sorry to let you down,
Took too long to decide to do something,
What am I gonna do now?
...with great power comes...I don't feel so good...
Got a lot on my mind lately,
Thought the suit and the mask would make me
Into the man that they all see...
lotta anxiety...
Got a lot on my mind lately,
Thought the suit and the mask would make me
Into the man that they all see...
lotta anxiety...lotta anxiety...
