Anxiety Attack - Jeffrey Lewis

I lay down every night

And I can’t get no rest

'Cause it starts spinning in my brain

And then it’s pounding in my chest

What if I’ve wasted all my youth?

What if I’ve wasted growing up?

What if I wasted my whole life?

Oh man, I feel like throwing up

It’s an anxiety attack

An anxiety attack

I’ve got a bad case of the horrors

And at night it comes back

'Cause first I look back at my week

And then I look back at my year

And then I’m terrified to speak

And then I’m paralyzed with fear

And I’m tossing and I’m turning

And I’m going 'round the bend

And all I see are all my failings

Downward spirals without end

And I see horror in the future

And I see horror in the past

And it’s 4am and 5am, 6am at last

'Cause what if I never feel grown up

And die in a car accident?

And what if I go crazy

And what if this time it’s permanent?

And what if I go broke

And have to move back with my parents?

And then what if I get cancer

And I ain’t got no insurance?

All my days are moving faster

And it’s making me feel dizzy

How come I get nothing done

But always feel so busy?

And I used to feel so smart

You know, I used to feel so strong

But this just can’t be how to live

I must be doing something wrong

Because everything I might do

Feels like something else I can’t

And then another day is gone

And I just don’t know where it went

I try not to hang out too much

Try not to watch too much television

But still everything I do

Just seems to be the wrong decision

And I lay down every night

But still I can’t get no rest

'Cause it starts spinning in my brain

And then it’s pounding in my chest

It’s an anxiety attack

An anxiety attack

I’ve got a bad case of the horrors

And at night it comes back
