Lyrics Anxiety - Zola Simone

You got a hold on me
You got a hold
On me, yeah

She don't really love you
She just feels alone
You're such a fucking fool
For giving her your all

She gonna break your heart now
I swear that girl will play you
She's too good for you
Why can't you see she's faking

Don't whisper in my ear
Don't tell me little lies
It fills me up with fear
Now it's spilling out the sides

Go and set the stage
Shine all of your lights
On all the little things
Wrong in my life
Put a tragedy on
Tell me that it's real
Starting to believe
You, anxiety
Yeah

She went out to eat
Hasn't come home
Probably crashed the car
Trying call your cell phone

And I wish my brain would stop
And I wish my lungs would breathe
I wish my heart would beat
A little more steadily

Don't whisper in my ear
Don't tell me little lies
It fills me up with fear
Now it's spilling out the sides

Go and set the stage
Shine all of your lights
On all the little things
Wrong in my life
Put a tragedy on
Tell me that it's real
Starting to believe
You, anxiety

I gotta get you off my chest
Feels so compressed
You have me wrapped so tight
Just like a cassette
Tried to play me
And now I'm just a tangled mess
Yeah, I can't regress
I can't accept
How I'm supposed to run
When my enemy and me is one
Lock me down in chains
And tell me this is freedom, naw
Tell me I'm afraid
But you're the fucking reason
I'm standing in this cage
Who wouldn't go insane?
I can't move or I'll break a sweat
Speak or I'll soon regret
See or I'll get upset
Sleep or I'll wake up dead
Don't try and test me
I've got plenty years of practice
Don't call me weak
Cause I'm living with this madness

Go and set the stage
Shine all of your lights
On all the little things
Wrong in my life
Put a tragedy on
Tell me that it's real
Starting to believe
You, anxiety
