"Anxious Blade" lyrics

Awake inside another dream
Falling far, losing teeth
I grip the wheel, gaining speed
Brakes faltering

Will I ever learn how the pattern starts?
With sleep-heavy eyes and racing thoughts
Hands tied to the shadow of all I've done
Can't brace for the fall

Feel the tightness in my chest like a hand around my heart
Daylight starts to burn and doesn't stop
Try to catch my breath
Before it all is bringing me down again

Is this real or just a dream?
Loop of false awakening
All I want out of reach
Mind faltering

How long will this go on before I start?
Drive an anxious blade right through my heart
Now I'm asking myself how it got this far
A shot in the dark

Feel the tightness in my chest like a hand around my heart
Daylight starts to burn and doesn't stop
Try to catch my breath
Before it all is bringing me down again

Race against the clock
Hesitate to start
Lost in spiral thought
Know it's my own fault
With good intent, you know I tried

Race against the clock
A list too long, my eyes are tired
Hesitate to start
I feel the weight under the gun
Lost in spiral thought
Another day with nothing done
Know it's my own fault
