Neon Flux - Tidal Nerves Lyrics

[Intro]
Drowning in this concrete maze
Therapy ain't saving me these days
Voices in my head won't fade away
City's got me f*cked up, I can't stay

[Verse 1]
Panic attacks hit different when you're all alone
Screaming at my reflection through a broken phone
Workshop walls closing in, I can't breathe
Everyone's sharing trauma like it's f*cking currency
Streets are flooding but my mind's already drowned
Therapist keeps talking while I'm breaking down
Can't tell if it's rain or tears on my face
Lost in this urban jungle, feeling out of place

[Chorus]
I'm drowning, drowning
While the city keeps on pounding
These walls are falling
But nobody hears me calling
I'm drowning, drowning
In emotions overwhelming
The flood's rising
But inside I'm dying

[Verse 2]
Group therapy got me spilling all my fears
While outside the world just disappears
They want me vulnerable, want me to break
But this anxiety's more than I can take
Protest signs floating in the rising tide
Mirror all the chaos trapped inside
System's broken, just like my mind
Healing's bullshit when the world's in decline

[Bridge]
F*ck your breathing exercises
Can't breathe when the air is toxic
Healing's just another promise
In this apocalyptic logic
Yeah, I'm damaged, who the f*ck isn't?
City's dying, we're all victims
Of this concrete paranoia
Drowning in metropolitan trauma

[Verse 3]
Workshop breakthrough? More like breakdown
Sharing pain while the world burns down
They say connection's gonna save us all
But I can't hear shit through these mental walls
Heart's beating like a broken drum
Urban anxiety's got me numb
Floating through this digital haze
Lost in this psychological maze

[Outro]
Watch me drown
Watch me drown
In this urban wasteland
Where dreams break down
Where dreams break down
Till nothing remains
