lyrics

It starts with a shortness of breath
I don't know why it feels like someone's sitting on my chest
Or maybe like we're floating out in space without any oxygen

If I listened to my body, it would always have me believe
That nothing's ever gonna be okay
But I believe the doctors when they say it's only anxiety
And nothing else is really wrong with me

So I can focus on my face, feel the tension, let it go
Still my arms and still my legs and let myself sink into bed
Don't search for answers I don't need to know

And the worry is never far from my mind
When I'm lying in bed after the day fades to night
It's brought on by the silent, still darkness when I know I should be sleeping

If I took my thoughts at face value
Then everything would be a threat
And not a thing would ever go my way
But there's a safer part inside my brain
That says it's probably gonna be okay
And this is probably not my dying day

And for now I feel secure and I've got a roof above my head
For now I'm safe and warm, tomorrow isn't my concern
As long as for today I have been fed

But anyway, my greatest worry I can't shake
Is the possibility of living for a century with unfulfilled dreams
Resigned and given up and just a shell of who I am today

So I can focus on my face, feel the tension, let it go
Still my arms and still my legs and let myself sink into bed
Every single day I'm making progress
