lyrics

Separate the “I” from “Anxiety” and you’ll still have Anx - Ety. But the I is important because it’s the mental illness that makes me feel shitty about my friends, about my job, about my music, about my life. And it’s the only mental illness that causes me to stay up at night.

For the fear of dying, is so very stress-ful, and the anxiety is like a cage around my heart begins to press in. Is that a heart attack? Or am I just not learning how to relax? I should call my doctor, again, I should call my doctor again.

I twist, and I shout, and I wonder about the beauty of the world. The beauty of the world. I shake, and I jump, and do a hump day hump as I think about the beauty of the world. The beauty of the world. Should I stop dancing when I’m sad? My doctor says yes, but I say emphatically no.

Separate the O from OCD. And you’ll still have CD. The music that I play in my car is on repeat. And I listen to Britney Spears when I’m sad. I listen to Britney Spears when I'm sad. I listen to Britney Spears when I'm sad.

I listen to Hanson. And they’re singing: Mmmbop, ba duba dop, Ba du bop, and i know in my heart what they're saying is true- Bop. They’re singing: Can you tell me? Oh No, you can't 'cause you don't know, and I am left with the feeling that I will never grow.

Give me a man from Milwaukee and I will send him back to Mars. I’ll send him back to Mars. And they that she’s so lucky. She’s a star but then why does she cry with a broken heart. Cry with a broken heart. Should I give up on my dreams? The songs say yes, but I say emphatically no.

Separate the Ds, from ADHD, and you’ll still have AH! The scream that was heard around the world, has only gotten me so far. If it’s so important that I become rich and famous, then why was I born without any real connections?

There’s a phone on the wall that never rings, and my email is empty because I’m always checking it. I fill out job applications just to pass the time and think about that embarrassing moment in 4th grade that haunts me in the middle of the night.

The burger king said that I’m overqualified to flip the burgers on the grill, the burgers on the grill. So I’ll keep be-ing a therapist for all the queers who are mentally ill. But it’s okay, ‘cause I am as well. Can we heal from all of our trauma? THIS song says yes, and I’ll also say yes, emphatically so.

Emphatically so.
