Anxious Blade

Lyrics for Anxious Blade

Awake inside another dream Falling far, losing teeth I grip the wheel, gaining speed Brakes faltering Will I ever learn how the pattern starts? With sleep-heavy eyes and racing thoughts Hands tied to the shadow of all I've done Can't brace for the fall Feel the tightness in my chest, like a hand around my heart Daylight starts to burn and doesn't stop Try to catch my breath before it all Is bringing me down again Is this real or just a dream? Loop of false awakening All I want, out of reach Mind faltering How long will this go on before I start Driving an anxious blade right through my heart? Now I'm asking myself how it got this far A shot in the dark Feel the tightness in my chest, like a hand around my heart Daylight starts to burn and doesn't stop Try to catch my breath before it all Is bringing me down again Race against the clock Hesitate to start Lost in spiral thought Know it's my own fault (With good intent, you know I tried) Race against the clock (A list too long, my eyes are tired) Hesitate to start (I feel the weight under the gun) Lost in spiral thought (Another day with nothing done) Know it's my own fault
