Jonah Burch - A Letter to Anxiety Lyrics




I don't know how to address you quietly
You're always in the back, waving and smiling
Knowing I can't touch you, laughing in spite of me
It's not fair, let go of her bright light please
This is a letter to her anxiety
And I wanna start by appealing to you kindly
Step away from the beautiful you keep nullifying
And refrain from those others I may have let pass by me
I'm sorry
I know I'm not helpful
You put a wall around her impossible to get through
And it hurts to see so much un-watered potential
Just give it some space, to grow into what it was meant to
Dear anxiety
You're one of the greatest foes I've faced
Not because I've dealt with you personally
But because explain how you're supposed to look someone in the face
And tell them not to be afraid even though you know they won't listen
They can't listen
You're inside of them pulling at every inch of their brain
Saying, "what're the odds everything will really be okay?
Am I really good enough? Do I really stand a chance?
If i just from this ledge, there's no guarantee I'll still land
On my feet," it seems these thoughts go hand in hand
Insecurities and depression seem to be your best friends
There's one thing I hope you can understand
I might not be perfect but I'll fight you to the end
Even if all I can do is smile, hug them, and pretend
I can help, when I feel so helpless yet again
Please, I'm asking you to go
I can't help but feel so cold in your snow
It's suffocating from inside out and at this point... I don't know
Dear everyone
Whether you've dealt with this or not
Whether you've felt like fear could swallow you whole
Or like me, you're troubled at the thought
Look around you in you're life and be grateful for it
You weren't put here on accident
Find the good that was placed in your life, reach out and grasp it
There's someone there worth living for
And people watching your every move
But don't give up cause you can't find purpose
Eventually purpose will find you
I've never been in your shoes, but I'm willing to walk
Every one us should be willing to sit down and talk
You don't have to be perfect
That's only God
But at the very least
You can be STRONG
