Fire is burning on my heels
And sweat drips from my brow
I’m trying to get away
But walls are rising now
It’s getting closer to me
And I’m trying to dodge and hide
I’m trying not to breakdown
As my tears swell up inside
I can hear its footsteps
They’re tearing up the ground
And it has swallowed up the sun
So it’s just darkness all around
The walls are closing in
And my legs are moving fast
This is the kind of nightmare
I wish would quickly pass
The scariest thing of all
Is that it’s not a nightmare
It’s my own pitiful reality
Running from what has me scared
I can’t get away from it
This monster
like the devil
But I keep moving my feet
On these sharp little pebbles
Walls keep rising around me
But I still have will to get away
I can’t let this monster get me
At least not yet
not today
I’m trying to run away
But I can hardly see
It’s like wanting to unlock a door
But holding the wrong key
Now I’m on the ground
And it’s thrashing at my chest
I couldn’t get away from it
But I really tried my best
It’s my entire fault anyway
I created this thing with fear
It’s so painful to admit that
And I explode into tears
I couldn’t outrun my monster
It as just too much for me
So I suppose I’ll drift away now
Hand in hand with my anxiety
