I’m addicted to anxiety
Everything I do is an invasion of my privacy
But I’m always running back
To find a way to compensate for everything I lack
And after you’ve been wired on the fear
That everything you’re working for could up and disappear
You start to keep it close and watch your back
-
But you’d never see me break a sweat
Not if I could help it like I ever haven’t yet
No one ever taught you how to spit
You don’t plagiarize and you would never lie about it
And everything you say you’re going to do
Doesn’t ever lead you any closer to the truth
Like maybe this was all to fool yourself
-
Like I would have a clue of what to do with my own time
Every step I ever took, another step across the line
It was only all for you
Like there wasn’t nothing I could do
Nothing I
-
O o o I know that you are gonna make so many friends
They’ll take care of you
And I know that you will take care of them
But once you’ve had enough
You can always come back home to us
Home to us
-
I moved around a lot when I was young
Like there wasn’t any place that I was really from
The flowers in the garden of my life
Withered up with every friend I had to leave behind
And every time we’d start to settle down
I would get the news we’re moving to some unfamiliar town
And I would have to start again from scratch
-
But she said
O o o I know that you are gonna make so many friends
They’ll take care of you
And I know that you will take care of them
But once you’ve had enough
