Lyrics Fighting Atrophy - Joey Cape

Fighting Atrophy

Unyielding pace, white-knuckled
Cerebral break, the muscle fighting atrophy, the closing gap
Waking each day in alarm
Reprise, replay as though a necessary talk compels us all to arms
Maybe we need a life map
From the disease, the relapse
Breathe in, breathe out, detach, calm down
How can we stay connected?
Unsettled, subjected to everyone’s concern in unison
Anxiety and panic
Withering frames, the frantic screaming at the sky as their dehumanized
Maybe we need a life map
From the disease, the relapse
Breathe in, breathe out, detach, find a way out
I hear there are monsters in your room
Acute and chronic
Even those demons aren’t immune
Plentiful of pressure, nights awake, terror, agony
Maybe we need a life map
Surrendering the roadmaps
Programs, policy, certainty, absolutes
I know the monsters in your room
Acute and chronic
Breathe in, breathe out, I know the way out
Even those demos aren’t immune
Susceptible to restraint, mercy
They’ll vacate when you stop fighting
