explaining anxiety in song form

lyrics

How do I get back time that was stolen from me
Need it now, so bad, quite desperately
All the sudden new energy has met defeat
Aspirations shot down, so sorely beat

Desperateness forever will seek me out
How it tugs on my hair as I punch and shout
still it won't steer clear of all I have to do
ooo do ooo

And the dust that settled all around my face
Disappeared, so I can't even track or trace
Countless minutes, slowly torn from me
Years and years, stripped away, so easily

Desperateness forever will seek me out
How it tugs on my hair as I punch and shout
Still it won't steer clear of all I have to do
ooo do ooo

I look back and my terror surrounds me again
Like a blanket of angry jabbing pins
They remind, they rewind past choices made
They stab on, on and on, infinitely replayed

Desperateness why won't you go away
I beg, I plead, I even pray
Still, every morning I hope for a wishful start
But I only find you, shall we never part
