Story Behind The Song
I was diagnosed with underlying anxiety and depression when I was around 16 years old. All my life my friends and peers have made jokes and said I was crazy, or judged my behavior because I was more outlandish than they were. What they didn't understand is my actions had nothing to do with my "disorder", it had everything to do with my fearlessness. While everyone was so caught up in the opinions of others, gossip, and nonsense drama, I had a bigger picture in mind. And I still do.

Lyrics
"Anxiety"
I'm crazy they say it's no good
Sedate me they think that they should
My blood gets to pumpin' way too fast
You people will be the reason for my heart attack
-Pre Hook-
I don't need medication
I practice meditation
Don't tell me something's wrong with me
I'm perfect, yes I am
Somewhere in wonderland
Disregard my anxiety
-Hook-
Nobody owns me
Don't try to show me how to deal
You'd have no reasons
For the seasons if you couldn't feel
Most days I lie awake in bed
Piecing the puzzle in my head
The edge is all that I can find
The rest remains blurry in my mind
-Pre hook-
I need to vanish now
Before I panic now
Don't plan to see my face again
You've pushed me way too far
I'm blame you for these scars
I may be twisted but I'll win in the end
-Hook-
Nobody owns me
Don't try to show me how to deal
You'd have no reasons
For the seasons if you couldn't feel
I'm so flattered your focus is on me
But I'd prefer if you'd just let me be
I'm grown the decision is all mine
And I've decided that I'm doing just fine
-Pre Hook-
Don't feed me medication
This pen is meditation
There ain't a damn thing wrong with me
You've pushed me way too far
Your name is on these scars
Your presence triggers anxiety
-Bridge-
Doctor, doctor
I'm beggin' you not to believe them
Nobody's perfect
And I don't deserve to be diagnosed for breathin'
I think, I think
They are the ones with problems
Let's turn the tables
And see if you're able to get in their brains and solve them
Nobody, no, no, nobody body (x3)
No (x6)
-Hook-
Nobody owns me
Don't try to show me how to deal
You'd have no reasons
For the seasons if you couldn't feel
