about

This is one of the few songs where I have actually gotten personal, whoa! I wrote this song while enduring my least favorite pastime, an anxiety attack. I hope anyone who has dealt with the same experience before listens to this song and knows they're not alone.

lyrics

Sometimes I want to run away
As far as I can go
Forget about everything
And everyone I know

I'd dye my hair and change my name
And start my life again
'Cause maybe just maybe I'd feel okay then

'Cause even when things seem fine
I'm still stuck with the same old mind
The same old themes, same silent screams inside
And even when things seem okay
Takes all my strength to push away
The same old fears, same silent tears I've cried

Been sitting here inside these walls
I've built up in my head
Repeating every though mistake
And stupid thing I've said

Another day, another year
The only thing that's clear
This is where you'll find me, I'll be right here

'Cause even when things seem fine
I'm still stuck with the same old mind
The same old themes, same silent screams inside
And even when things seem okay
Takes all my strength to push away
The same old fears, same silent tears I've cried

And I've tried

To calm myself down
To swim not to drown
To pick myself up when I fall
So I'll work through the pain
Try to tune out my brain
But it doesn't help much at all

'Cause even when things seem fine
I'm still stuck with the same old mind
The same old themes, same silent screams inside
And even when things seem okay
Takes all my strength to push away
The same old fears, same silent tears I've cried
Can't run away when there's no place to hide
And trust me when I tell you that I've tried
