Lyrics:
I wake up, puddle of sweat I have nightmares, and I get back into bed It's like these voices just keep playing on repeat in the back of my head And I can’t get them to leave me alone Thirty-years old but still hates being alone when I'm home Because that's when the voices get the loudest Opening up like this is a moment far from my proudest But these demons keep pressin’ me, I swear they're the foulest But I've grown comfortable with their presence, my conscious is calloused My dreams are their playground, my thoughts are their palace I tried to evict them, they returned with more Anxiety isn't an item you can return at the store I was 10 the first time I had a panic attack Like a punch to the stomach, there's no planning for that And I didn't tell anyone because I was too scared about what they'd say And I knew deep down that there was nothing they could do to take it away It was my fight to fight and my battle to face I remember that house I grew up in and how those demons would rattle that place I'd lay awake at night just staring at the ceiling I’ve spent my whole life trying to run from that feeling That feeling of being lonely, that feeling of being lost That feeling of being sick when the lights turn off That feeling of being depressed, that feeling of being anxious That feeling of screaming to God begging Him to take this Only to get silence in return I’d lay in that bed crying, and I'd toss and I’d turn And I turn and I toss to this day The doctors gave me medication, the pastor said pray I tried both, and this anxiety still hasn't gone away So forgive me if I fantasize about being gone today I'm an actor who got really good at being on today But when I turn off, I go right back into the shadows I'm in the deep-end now, but I started in the shallows And I might just drown myself in these waves Suburbian hell, these homes are all graves Everyone’s coping with something but won't admit it, they're all too afraid And these kids are glued to watching me, what do I say? If I'm honest with them, maybe they won't think highly of me Everything they want me to be is what I'm dying to be But everything I really am is what I'm not trying to be I want them to know that they're not alone in their struggles I wake up in tears and fall back asleep in those puddles And I don't ever think I'll get out of this valley I'm in Terrified that all along God has tallied my sins And if He has, the number must be astronomic My life is a joke, and you keep reading, just pass the comic Because everything you think that I am is far from the truth I wish I could open up to you and just let loose But my vocal cords get tight when the Devil pulls on this noose And then I'm back to keeping everything bottled up inside But he's not gonna keep me from pulling the throttle back this time He's not gonna keep me trapped like this I can't get out of bed, I was never made to act like this I'm packing up my bags, and he can't stop me from running fast like this I'm not gonna be a slave to these voices of anxiety I'm shoving the Devil back for every time that he lied to me And I'm taking a belt to these demons who whisper despair in my ear And I'm ignoring every naysayer who stands and stares when I'm near I'm moving forward out of this slump I took my bruises, I took my lumps I fell down, but I got right back up So give me a torch, and let's light that up I'm setting fire to the Devil, and I'm dousing these demons in gasoline Look at you now, now you're not laughing at me Now who's the one who's being tortured and punked? Now who's the one closing every door that I want? Now who's the one watching the other burn the ground? Don't look away from me, you better turn back around I'm not done talking to you now I'm watching your moves I'm on your back, and I'm stalking you, too And when you try to ruin some other kid's life, I'll be stoppin' you, too You took thirty years of my life, and I can't get that back You told me to end my life, and I nearly got killed for that You took me down, but I bounced right back I was lost then, and I got found like that And everything you told me I wasn't someone new told me I was And everything you hated in me someone new told me He loves And when you tried to kill me with depression and anxiety He reached in and placed hope deep inside of me So I'm done listening to you and letting you control me I'm announcing it now that the Devil can't hold me I'm walking away from the old me And I'm demanding a refund on every lie that you sold me You knew I'd find a way out sooner or later And I found my escape in the form of a Savior
