The alarm goes off
I wake up, I hurt
My body is sore from normalcy
I fight the cycle again today
I won't let this feeling run my life
And tell me when the time is right

Anxiety grabs a hold of my body
It is the captain of this ship
My mind gets pulled out to see once again
As pirates steal the wind from my sails

I will not be still
I can't, I won't
Cardiac arythmia makes my decision tough
A repetitive slide show flickers in my head
Hi and low-lights spoken by the internal announcer

Anxiety grabs a hold of my body
It is the captain of this ship
My mind gets pulled out to see once again
As pirates steal the wind from my sails

I can't take this, I need to run my life
I'm shackled by my own anxiety, I can't take this
Every decision to be criticized, every move well-planned
My delight and despair go hand in hand
Anxiety keeps me from doing what I need to do
I continue to fight it, so I can pull through
Today I'm going to do what I want so get out of my way
My heart will win this battle and will make you pay
I'd rather come up short that not even try
You only have voice life until you die!
I'd rather come up short that not even try
You only have one life until you die!

Anxiety releases control of my body
I am the captain of this ship
My mind gets pulled out to sea once again
As I steal the wind from the pirate's sails
