Stay Paranoid - Patient Sixty-Seven

My fault

That I’m this way

I’m in over my head

Begging for someone to blame

Uncaged, left with the same debt to pay

A slave to the paranoia

That serves to take away

Tear me limb from limb

This panic sets in

My anxiety wins

Just to forget I can only give in

Please tell me again

I’m not worth a thing

Give me a way out of this

Emptiness inside my head

I said I’d fix myself

But I can’t seem to get a grip

I can’t get a grip

I’ll always be the same

It’s this paranoia

With only myself to blame

And now I finally see

I’m consumed by anxiety

Can’t seem to face what lies beneath

This suffering, is it all for nothing

I can’t face what I’m becoming

This is the real me

Falling apart in misery

I’m a wreck

At least the parts of me that are left

I’m sick to death of using you

To keep myself in check

There’s a part of me that screams

I don’t really need it

This time I mean it

I’m sick of needing you

Like the air I breathe

Like the air I breathe

And now I finally see

I’m consumed by anxiety

Can’t seem to face what lies beneath

This suffering, is it all for nothing

I can’t face what I’m becoming

This is the real me

Falling apart in misery
