Dare Told Me Not to Smoke, but Anxiety Makes Me Want a Light Anyway. Lyrics by Joe Barbarulo

Listen While You Panic.

2020

[Verse]
I’m in the parking lot
Having a breakdown again
Why aren’t I happy?
Why can’t I be there for a friend?
My attention span
Keeps my complexes in check
If I don’t break my hand on the wall
I’ll take the rope to break my neck
[Outro]
And I’m lying
Behind the facade that I am trying
To be someone good
When I just need someone to be by my side
Codependency is eating me up
And I can never shut the fuck up
Without bothering someone else in my texts
And friendship that I keep seeming to wreck
So stop my shattering mental health
My friends won’t leave me up on the shelf
Unless I don’t believe in myself
