Anthems of Defiance in a Dying World volume 4: Depression

by Violent Affair

(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

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

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
