Sharks And Danger - Alexisonfire

*Phone rings*

St. Catharines Psychiatric Help Line, this is Nancy

«I'm sure this is all gonna sound really ridiculous

And uh…

I don’t exactly expect anyone to believe all this

Uh… for the last little while

I’ve been keeping correspondence with my sanity, and uhh…

I really get the feeling that

I’m starting to lose interest in the letter-writing process

The pieces of the letters

Just get progressively shorter and shorter

Until it’s not even a reply

I uhh… the whole thing makes me really nervous

I just wish I could show you what a huge problem this is»

As life hangs beside me

I gather all that I can

You were never one for confrontation

But now, it lies all in your hands

Your hands, your hands…

«I kind of have this… Really terrible habit of asking myself all these stupid

questions, right?

Like what if uhh… what if there’s a spot on my body that I

can touch to keep my heart from beating?

or like what if, what if there’s this

uhh… stray bullet out there that’s gonna come through my window and take me

out?

like what if uhh… what if there’s this huge unstoppable comet that’s

just gonna like, destroy the Earth and all of us?

Like what… what if that’s

happening right now?

How can I avoid all these questions if I don’t have that?

Like, who is gonna be here?

Why… who is gonna be there… in the hospital?

Who is gonna tell me that all this is bullshit… it’s a dream?

Just a dream.

This is not a joke.

And uhh… I’ll never sleep.»

Lashing out

Anxiety chokes me like razorwire

Now it’s all in your hands, in your hands
