Anxiety (also called angst or worry) is a psychological and physiological state characterized by somatic, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components. It is the displeasing feeling of fear and concern. The root meaning of the word anxiety is 'to vex or trouble'; in either presence or absence of psychological stress, anxiety can create feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness, and dread. Anxiety is considered to be a normal reaction to a stressor. It may help an individual to deal with a demanding situation by prompting them to cope with it. When anxiety becomes excessive, it may fall under the classification of an anxiety disorder.
Anxiety is a generalized mood that can occur without an identifiable triggering stimulus. As such, it is distinguished from fear, which is an appropriate cognitive and emotional response to a perceived threat. Additionally, fear is related to the specific behaviors of escape and avoidance, whereas anxiety is related to situations perceived as uncontrollable or unavoidable. Another view defines anxiety as "a future-oriented mood state in which one is ready or prepared to attempt to cope with upcoming negative events," suggesting that it is a distinction between future and present dangers which divides anxiety and fear. In a 2011 review of the literature, fear and anxiety were said to be differentiated in four domains: (1) duration of emotional experience, (2) temporal focus, (3) specificity of the threat, and (4) motivated direction. Fear was defined as short lived, present focused, geared towards a specific threat, and facilitating escape from threat; while anxiety was defined as long acting, future focused, broadly focused towards a diffuse threat, and promoting caution while approaching a potential threat.
It's a love song to the self, a story recapped every day,
It's a world of bogus feelings and a world of slow decay,
It's a world of laughter hidden by this world of fear and torment,
It's a game of strange compulsion, our visceral convulsion:
Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain,
Anxiety, a feeling that you know you can't contain.
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man.
Foundation of society, anxiety. Suppress it if you can.
The caste of coffee achievers didn't perform like they planned.
The morning rush hour traffic is our play of false elan.
So run around your frantic track and lay you down to sleep;
Tomorrow's the redemption, we strive for that exception.
Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain,
Anxiety, a fear that you have nothing more to gain.
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man.
Foundation of society, anxiety. Suppress it if you can.
What are we angry for?
We all need a common cure.
That common goal for which you strive:
To have more than the other (have more than the other) guy.
The quest for truth, the quest for gold, yeah, we end up all the same
The common lie, the righteous cry, we end up all the same.
The angry crowd, those lost and found, everybody's all the same.
The poet's pen, these words I lend, we all bend to
Anxiety for love of life, anxiety for pain,
Anxiety, a feeling that you know you can't contain.
Anxiety destroys us but it drives the common man.

So you've be thinkin' about it
You think that you've got the answer now
And you've been praying about it
You've asked him to remove your fear
right now
So you analyze it
you think you have control
Then you realize
it's time that you let go
It's not your time, yeah.
Feel it all and know
it's not your time, yeah.
Feel it all and know that this will pass.
So you can cry about it.
The tears can help you heal inside.
I know you lost your mind now,
and you just tell yourself to hide.

I feel like I wanna smack somebody
Turn around and, bitch, slap somebody
But I ain't goin' out bro
(No, no, no)
I ain't givin' into it
(No, no, no)
Anxieties bash my mind in
Terrorizing my soul like Bin Laden
But I ain't fallin' down, bro
(No, no, no)
I won't lose control, bro
(No, no, no)
Shackle and chained, my soul feels stained
I can't explain got an itch on my brain
Lately, my whole aim is to maintain
And regain control of my mainframe
My bloods boiling, it's beatin' out propane
My train of thoughts, more like a runaway train
I'm in a fast car, drivin' in a fast lane
In the rain and I'm might just hydroplane
I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from oozies
I've been dealing with something that's worse than these
That'll make you fall to your knees and that's the
The anxiety, the sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord, please, please, please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord, please, please, please
Take away my anxiety
My head keeps running away, my brother
The only thing making me stay, my brother
But I won't give into it, bro
(No, no, no)
Gotta get myself back now
God, I can't let my mind be, tell my enemy is my own
Gots to find my inner wealth, gots to hold up my thoughts
I can't get caught
(No, no, no)
I can't give into it now
(No, no, no)
Emotions are trapped, set on lock
Got my brain stuck, goin' through the motions only I know, what's up?
I'm filled up with pain, tryin' to gain my sanity
Everywhere I turn, it's a dead end in front of me
With nowhere to go, gotta shake this anxiety
Got me feelin' strange, paranoia took over me
And it's weighin' me down and I can't run any longer
Yo' knees to the ground
I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from oozies
I've been dealing with something that's worse than these
That'll make you fall to your knees and that's the
The anxiety, the sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord, please, please, please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord, please, please, please
Take away my anxiety
I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from oozies
I've been dealing with something that's worse than these

Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord, please, please, please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord, please, please, please
Waiting down at the end of the corridor
Don't know this place but I swear I've been here before
The shadows dance with the pictures that hang up on the walls
I hear them laughing as I wander the halls
I can feel my palms sweating now
Pacing back and forward with nothing to say
I can see my mind racing now
The feeling won't go away
It's like a clock ticking slow in the waiting room
It's like a doctor coming but he's got no news
My heart keeps racing, I don't know what to do
You're giving me anxiety
Like a message in a bottle that nobody read
The famous last words that nobody said
Tell me what is wrong tonight
You're giving me anxiety (Anxiety, anxiety)
I'm the patient, with no patience
This operation has already failed
It's too late for resuscitation
Can't take away the pressure you make me feel
I can feel my chest heavy now
Weighing down on me, it's harder to breathe
Look in the mirror, got no color now
Another fatality
It's like a clock ticking slow in the waiting room
It's like a doctor coming but he's got no news
My heart keeps racing, I don't know what to do
You're giving me anxiety
Like a message in a bottle that nobody read
The famous last words that nobody said
Tell me what is wrong tonight
You're giving me anxiety
And I'm underwater
And I hate you
What you're doing to me
To me, yeah
Your voice is cold, your eyes look through me
Like they don't know me
They're faking now when there was love
It's empty
A clock ticks slow in the waiting room
The doctor comes but he's got no news
My heart keeps racing, I don't know what to do
You're giving me anxiety
This is the message in a bottle that nobody read
The famous last words that nobody said
Tell me what is wrong tonight
You're giving me anxiety
I'm underwater
You're giving me anxiety
I'm underwater
You're giving me anxiety
And I hate you
You're giving me anxiety
I'm underwater
On my knees
I will not treat you as god
For what you have done to me
For all the fear I felt
For all the homeless child
For all the homeless child
Child
Planets collide, we're doomed to die (to die)
Never be free from fear (from fear)
A storm is arriving, true death inside
Never be free from tears (from our fears), our tears
There is no way, recover the world
For all the lies you told us
For all the pain you sent
For all the ruin you caused
There will be no more beliefs
Our faith is gone like the wind
For all the dead you brought
For the chance that not was (yeah)
Angels die, eternal darkness falls (we'll fall)
Never be free from fear (free from our fears)
Breaking the chains with a desperate cry
Never be free from tears (whoa, from our tears), our cries
Never
Be free from tears
Have no sin
Look at my pride
I'm not at your side
Angels die, eternal darkness falls (yes, I know)
Never be free from fear (yes, I know)
Breaking the chains with a desperate cry (yes, I know)
Never be free from tears (all our tears), our cries
I will not treat you as god
For what you've done to me
For all the fear I felt
For all the homeless child
Anxiety, don't pressure us
Faster, I dream in speeds of ashes
My heart it beats and crashes
I'm running from the truth
Cause it fucks with my mind
Waiting, we're silly, we're so reckless
The city it's so heartless
I've fought off full of crude
Now washed up in the tide
Don't pressure us, anxiety
I'm a passenger
So serious, anxiety
Just a passenger
Handsome and calloused, young believers
Hiding button schemers
And rotting out like fruit
Now what's left here to die?
Talking, waited after hours
Time is spending our
I'm falling to my knees
To fall whole safe inside
Don't pressure us, anxiety
I'm a passenger
So dangerous, anxiety
I need to give up all my hate
It's only seem to every do
Is put me deeper in the grave
You only bottle up my rage
But I need to let it out
Because all it ever does is put me in a cage
And I don't know how this world can be so cold
It hurts me no one really care that your alone
And I don't know how I always seem to let it get the best of me
But I'm never gonna let it beat me down again
No, I'm never gonna let it beat me down again
Lately I've been so stressed out
'Til I couldn't even breathe
And now I'm shaking on the ground
A side of me is a dark cloud
And it needs to be released
So it can change what I'm about
And I don't know how this world can be so cold
It hurts me no one really care that your alone
And I don't know why I always seem
To let it get the best of me
But I'm never gonna let it beat me down again
Never gonna let it beat me down again
Can you see that I really wanna change
Can you see that I've opened up my cage
Can you see that now I'm not afraid
Can you see that
And I don't know how this world can be so cold
It hurts me no one really cares that your alone
And I don't know why I seem to always let it get the best of me
But I'm never gonna let it beat me down again
Never gonna let it beat me down again
Never gonna let it beat me down again
Never gonna let it beat me down again
I look but everyone seems dead
I pray for safety with no net
I am the one they won't forget
I am the one they won't forget, life's a lie
Nothing's left to say
Might have been dismay
Anxiety, shut up
I see space between heads
This grave, it's not open yet
I pray for safety with no net
I am the one they won't forget, life's a lie
Nothing's left to say
Might have been dismay
Anxiety, shut up
Nothing's left to say
Might have been dismay
Anxiety, shut up
Nothing's left to say
Might have been dismay
Anxiety, shut up
Is everything to forget?
They'll pray for safety with no net
Life's a lie

On my way up I trip and start to fall.
This state of mind takes away the will to fight.
Scared, and certain to die. Running into a wall of anxiety.
Cold, but not alone. You're always beside me.
I want you to take me from this darkness.
I want to move on. I want to be strong but it's hard.
Feelings that I hide crush me like a child.
It's taking over. Making me realise, there's more inside.
Scared, and certain to die. Running into a wall of anxiety.
Cold, but not alone. You're always beside me.
I want you to take me from this darkness.
I let him in he won't stay out; the wrong one he loves me
unshakable doubt. He waits for me, to wake me up til he
wrings me out every drop Under sun while I race he waits
patient in my bed a smile on his face til he wrings me
out every drop I dreamed last night that he let go he was
falling in circles I laughed as he froze but there he'll
be revenged on me til he wrings me out every drop yeah
You my close friend for this 3 years not with standing
I'm so missing you but don't you know
To come around and when we go out
And watch the movie just you and me
Once make me full of anxiety
Once make me full of anxiety
Like last week when you smile and waving on my dream
I never meet and talking to you
I do not know why our close friend
Always asking me about you
So why should I write all of this things
So why should I write what does it matter
If we could hanging out together
And if we could
I feel that I’m fairly well adjusted mostly
But I hate it when these people stand closely.
Most folks just love hittin’ parties.
Bust through the door, run and hug everybody.
Not me. I kinda creep in slowly.
Scan the room for people that know me
And if it’s none then holy crap.
Somebody gotta hold me back.
And if the keg is tapped then I’m on it.
I mean on and on and on on it.
And if you paid a little more to get the good pour
Then you know Wheelie be fallin’.
But I don’t want to be the one that’s stuck
Head in the toilet, throwin’ up.
I wander back home then I wonder what
That I did to get my head hit and thumped
Now listen. I can’t relate
And you better stand back three feet away.
Because my head gets red and I start to shake
And it’s clear that I got a problem, OK?
I am an R-O-B-O-T-I-C M-I-C freak
With human anxiety. Anxiety.
If I gotta speak up, then I start to sweat
In a room full of people that I’ve never met.
You know I’d rather be home stuck in the apartment
Cuz my shirt’s now soaked through, soppin’ wet.
Oh God, here we go. Not again.
My heart starts beatin' faster and then
I can’t breath. I'm all filled with phlegm
I can’t see cuz I got tunnel vision.
Oh crap. It’s a panic attack.
Somebody grab me the paper sack.
I new it’d be bad when the room was packed
And now I feel myself faintin’, fallin’ back.
I mean STAT. I think I need some medication
Cuz I’m always in these bad situations.
And I swear that I’ll be a good patient
I hate it when I gotta be sedated and complacent.
Face it. I could use some therapy.
Cuz I always feel these people gotta stare at me.
Tweakin’ like I’m on methamphetamines.
This is why everybody’s always ahead of me.
I am an R-O-B-O-T-I-C M-I-C freak
With human anxiety. Anxiety.
Bring the Jackson 5 back.
Bring the Jackson 5 right back, bring ‘em back.
Bring the Jackson 5 back.
Bring the Jackson 5 right back, bring ‘em back, Stumblebee.
Bring the Jackson 5 back.
Bring the Jackson 5 right back, bring ‘em back, Powerthighs.
Bring the Jackson 5 back.
Bring the Jackson 5 right back, bring ‘em back, everybody.
Bring the Jackson 5 back.
Bring the Jackson 5 right back, bring ‘em back!
Now my head isn’t really that bad, is it?
My therapist told me that last visit.
And I have considered benefits of better livin’
But I’m givin’ up on it, I need a hand, get it?
Got it? Good. Tell me what I should
Do to repair what is wrong under my hood.
Should I pay some white-suited dude
To look into the circuits of my mind?
I need much more than a mechanic, though.
I feel weird bot, yo I can’t stand it, so
I get stressed out, about to hit panic mode.
I need help, buddy, hand me the antedote because
Where is my real imaginary world? Empty spaces of the sunset
spaces of the lost hopes of the deprived of feelings faces
The laughing devil is disappearin' in the clouds of smoke spiderweb
life is running 'way against the sad light of the day the left shreds in my hands
Blood in the empty, forgotten tins cut off heads, strange creations of the nature
the bulbs, black lights from under the vault acrid teste of blood in mouth
I found oneself death in the room tangled hands like shoots of vine
the grimace of scream has twisted my face anxiety in the death and cold eyes
The tyrant of life triumphed
I take a pill to help me through the day
I stay inside until I feel okay
I've always been so cautious
But I'm sick of feeling nauseous
It's not that I am losing
This wall of my own choosing
Take me on a ride
Show me how to hide the voice in my head
Meet me on the road, tell me all you know
I'm here on my own
Take me on a ride
Show me how to hide the voice in my head
You've got away with my anxiety
It's yours to take back
I walk alone, I stumble to the beat
My stack of drums are always on repeat
You never win when losing is a game
Inside your head there's no one else to blame
I've always been so cautious
But I'm sick of feeling nauseous
It's not that I am losing
This wall of my own choosing
Take me on a ride
Show me how to hide the voice in my head
Meet me on the road, tell me all you know
I'm here on my own
Take me on a ride
Show me how to hide the voice in my head
You've got away with my anxiety
It's yours to take back
You've got away with my anxiety
It's yours to take back
Take me on a ride
Show me how to hide the voice in my head
Meet me on the road, tell me all you know
I'm here on my own
Take me on a ride
Show me how to hide the voice in my head
You've got away with my anxiety
Where is my real imaginary world? Empty spaces of the sunset
spaces of the lost hopes of the deprived of feelings faces
The laughing devil is disappearin' in the clouds of smoke spiderweb
life is running 'way against the sad light of the day the left shreds in my hands
Blood in the empty, forgotten tins cut off heads, strange creations of the nature
the bulbs, black lights from under the vault acrid teste of blood in mouth
I found oneself death in the room tangled hands like shoots of vine
the grimace of scream has twisted my face anxiety in the death and cold eyes
(Verse)
Say you be all for me
Together to see me
No reason to tell me
You'll never tell me
(Verse)
Every way that you try to say
Just got lost in your speech
And here we are and we're gazing on
And how to forget hi hi
(Chorus x2)
Stand up baby
You never do it with me
Dance now, making you want
You wanna be there
Stand up, be mine
You never do it with me
Dance now, making you want
(Verse)
Say you be all for me
Together in the rain
Everywhere that you're driving
Say now you don't wanna be
(Verse)
Every way that come right down
And you don't understand
This is right where you wanna be
Down, and you hate for now
(Chorus x2)
Stand up baby
You never do it with me
Dance now, making you want
You wanna be there
Stand up, be mine
You never do it with me
Dance now, making you want
(Verse)
He said that you wanna be like far and never wanted
Baby down and you wanna be there
You don't wanna let it stay
And the ways that you anticipated me for life
Holding back and you run for me
How and day by day by day by day
(Chorus x2)
Stand up baby
You never do it with me
Dance now, making you want
You wanna be there
Stand up, be mine
You never do it with me
Dance now, making you want
Anxiety has taken over the city and
It always finds a way to creep back into your life.
It always finds a way to creep back into your life.
We are victims in life's vicious game,
The fears we have decide our path. We are victims in
life's vicious game,
The fears we have.
And it always finds a way to creep back into your life.
Fear always finds a way to creep back into your life.
You will never see the light of day,
You will never make things that clear, you will never
escape the darkness,
you will never see the light of day.
Chase down what you once thought was yours,
This is not a dream its reality.
You try and wake yourself from this nightmare,
Try and wake yourself
This is not a dream its reality.
This is not a dream it is reality.
Go before we are the victims
Brain melt
Note to self
Do you remember just how it felt?
Bit your tongue and you just dealt
Until it all boils over
That was your first mistake
Need I remind you
What got us here in the first place?
Anxiety
Won't let me go, won't let me go
So am I crazy?
Well I don't know, well I don't know
I can't think straight
Anxiety gets the best of me
I take it all on the chin
Trying to figure out where the fuck it all went
Never really seemed to understand
That all it really was, social anxiety
[X2]
Never really seemed to understand
That all it really was, social anxiety (anxie-)
Never really seemed to understand
That all it really was, social anxiety
[X2]
