Lyrics Analysis Paralysis - Awake at Last

Analysis Paralysis

I feel intoxicated
I hear them rapping in my mind
My anxiety is enslaving me
So desperate, so confined
I know that I’m not the man who I always thought I would be
I think I’m searching for the promised land but the road seems to betray me
So tear away my skin, I know there’s something more
It’s a battle I can win, what am I afraid for?
I feel like fire in the rain, I’m trying to shine a light
Find a way to break these chains
In spite of you, I gotta stay strong
I don’t wanna be loved, I just wanna be something more
'Cause I can feel it inside, it’s a changing of tides
I just have to know what I stand for
When everything is at a standstill
And I lose my sense of time
I feel my heart start racing
And now my mind’s in overdrive
Out of touch, out of mind, I’m pacing, trying to make the pieces combine
Wanna run, wanna hide, but my body’s please, God, hear my cries
Tear away my skin, I know there’s something more
It’s a battle I can win, what am I afraid for?
I feel like fire in the rain, I’m trying to shine a light
Find a way to break these chains
In spite of you, I gotta stay strong
I don’t wanna be loved, I just wanna be something more
'Cause I can feel it inside, it’s a changing of tides
I just have to know what I stand for
Breathe in, breathe out
Don’t you fade
Breathe in, breathe out
Don’t you fade
I feel like fire in the rain, I’m trying to shine a light
Find a way to break these chains
In spite of you, I gotta stay strong
I don’t wanna be loved, I just wanna be something more
'Cause I can feel it inside, it’s a changing of tides
I just have to know what I stand for
(Know what I stand for)
(Yeah, what am I afraid for?)
