Will to Fight

(Suffocating)
I just can't escape
(Contemplating)
Such drastic change
As my heart rate increases
And my body starts to shake
My mind over analyzed every little thing
(I'm loosing control and it's starting to show)
My life's a total wreck and its all thanks to this
(Chorus)
Anxiety is eating me alive
Keeping me awake both day and night
And I've all but lost the will to fight
And I don't know why
Anxiety is eating me alive
Keeping me awake both day and night
And I hope and pray that everything will be alright
(Anticipating)
The utmost worst
(Hesitating)
My every last word
As my vision starts to tunnel everything becomes a blur
Fear and panic have become my whole world
(There's nothing left just crushing regret)
I'm a shell of a man and it's all thanks to this
(Chorus)
Anxiety is eating me alive
Keeping me awake both day and night
And I've all but lost the will to fight
And I don't know why
Anxiety is eating me alive
Keeping me awake both day and night
And I hope and pray that everything will be alright

Don't Lose Hope

So many years have passed the days have come and gone
You've been by my side whether I was right or wrong
You could never even know just what its meant to me
to have the kind of friends that i call family
I know that times are different and I know that times are hard
but I won't let you face these demons on your own
So when you feel you can't go on or face another day
I'll be right by your side and you'll hear me say
If I had a cure for the pain you feel inside
I'd offer it up in a heartbeat without ever thinking twice
and I may not understand what keeps you up at night
But one things for sure I will never leave your side
Don't lose hope
You'll never walk alone
So many reckless nights spent out on the road
made a life out of the voyage lost in the unknown
We crawled from the wreckage of an overturned van
I've been stranded in the desert without a dime to my name
But no matter where we've been or everything we've seen
we always came out on top of every tragedy
So when the weight of the world starts to take its toll
let me help lift the burden thats bearing down on you
If I had a cure for the pain you feel inside
I'd offer it up in a heartbeat without ever thinking twice
and I may not understand what keeps you up at night
But one things for sure I will never leave your side
Don't lose hope
You'll never walk alone
Call me a pessimist no I don't really care, the world we occupy is cruel and unfair
So I'm dealing with this the best that I can I'll surround myself with people that ease my suffering
Now i live in debt to each and everyone of those that pushed me to get up and go on
Yea we're all a little broken it's what makes us who we are the jagged pieces fit together to keep from falling apart

Self Destruct
05:03

One cut one scar more pain one bruise
Give me all that you got I’ve got nothing to lose
I need the pain in my veins so but don’t ask why
I’ve gotta destroy myself just to feel alive
The doctors and medicine could never help
Prescribing more problems poisoning the well
I can’t Deny my Anger or Bargain for a break
So I’m dealing with Depression in unacceptable ways
Self destruction
I can’t escape this confusion
Self destruction
Now it's the only solution
To ease this pain in my mind
Or to leave this all far behind
Self loathing self destructive
self absorbed with no direction
And it's slowly killing me
No this isn’t who I want to be
Much too young too fast to soon
On a never ending bender now I’m on the loose
I’ll fade away in my pain no hope in sight
no escape from the grave that I’ve dug this time
So I’ll isolate myself from my family and friends
On a self destructive road I now descend
I can’t Deny my Anger or Bargain for a break
So I’m dealing with Depression in unacceptable ways
Self destruction
I can’t escape this confusion
Self destruction
Now it's the only solution
To ease this pain in my mind
Or to leave this all far behind
Self loathing self destructive
self absorbed with no direction
And it's slowly killing me
No this isn’t who I want to be
What do you see when you look in the mirror?
Perceptions of yourself only getting clearer?
Then in the end for these sins I’ll crash and burn
Pedal to the metal leaning in to the curve
