Anxiety

ANXIETY (reworking)

[Verse 1 — tense, half-spoken]
My shoes know the distance
From the bed to the door.
I’ve done a hundred miles
On a ten-foot floor.

TV talking
To an empty chair.
I kill the sound—
But it’s still in the air.

[Chorus — shouted]
WHO LET YOU IN?
WHO GAVE YOU A KEY?
You wear my face,
But you don’t speak for me!

[Verse 2 — clipped, restless]
I laugh too soon.
I talk too fast.
I answer questions
Nobody asked.

Your glass is still.
Mine shakes the ice.
I miss your name—
You tell me twice.

[Chorus — shouted]
WHO LET YOU IN?
WHO GAVE YOU A KEY?
You wear my face,
But you don’t speak for me!

[Extended instrumental — let it get wild]

[Bridge — quiet at first, then build]
I know that knock.
I know that face.
You live here—
You don’t own the place.

[Final chorus — full voice, backing shouts]
WHO LET YOU IN?
WHO GAVE YOU A KEY?
You wear my face,
But you don’t speak for me!

You don’t speak for me!
You don’t speak for me!

[Outro — over the final riff]
Give back the key.
GIVE BACK THE KEY!
