A song about living with, and attempting to overcome, anxiety and depression in the everyday modern world.
lyrics
Take your mind off the road where you're creeping,
Take your mind off the load.
Turn your mind off, be enlightened and dreaming,
empty out your old soul.
You've got nothing to fear, believe it,
You've got nothing to fear.
Take your time, don't forget what you're needing,
Don't forget your true self.
Fold your hand if it's not what you're asking,
or bet your life on a chance.
Yesterday blew your mind, your eyes gleaming,
then today was a nightmare screaming.
Yea, your soul sang and you were always for real,
and you lay down in your own saddest grieving
and I wonder if you knew you were going home...
Empty your pockets but don't feel like you owe me,
though your heart's pledged to mine.
You've got the rest of your life right in front of you
but you're all out of time.
You've got nothing to fear, believe me,
you've got nothing to fear.
But you're gone and the sun's fading out on your dreams,
Yea you're gone like a flame in the wind,
blowing out true belief,
and I feel like you knew you were going home.
