Age of Anxiety

 Oof. This hits the bullseye on the zeitgeist of our times.

It's the age of doubt

And I doubt we'll figure it out

Is it you or is it me?

Age of anxiety

(Are you talking to me?)

Fight the fever with TV

In the age when nobody sleeps

And the pills do nothing for me

In the age of anxiety

When I look at you

I see what you want me to

See what you want me to

When you look at me

See what I want you to see

What I want you to see

In the age of

Living in the age of

Living in the age of

In the age of

Living in the age of

Living in the age of

It's a maze (it's a maze) of mirrors (of mirrors)

It's a hologram of a ghost

And you can't quite touch it

Which is how it hurts us the most

So we keep it all inside

And hide it deep in a drawer

Say your prayers, tonight

Someone finds it after the war

And when I look at you

I see what you want me to

See what you want me to

When you look at me

See what I want you to see

What I want you to see is me

In the age of

Living in the age of

Living in the age of

In the age of

Living in the age of

Living in the age of

Anxiety

Gotta get this spirit out of me

This anxiety that's inside of me

Gotta get the spirit out of me

This anxiety that's inside of me

Gotta get this spirit out of me

This anxiety that's inside of me, baby

Gotta get this spirit out of me

This anxiety that's inside of me, baby

'Cause I can't stop crying

And I really think I mean it

But the tears mean nothing to me

Another lost alien arriving on my spaceship

In the age of anxiety (anxiety)

We can't stop crying and we really think we mean it

But the tears just fall on the sheets (anxiety)

Another lost soul just trying to feel something

Trying to feel something

Trying to feel something in the age of (anxiety)

Are you talking to me or about me?

Am I talking to you or about you?

It's all about you

It's all about you

It's all about you (it's not about you)

It's all about you (it's not about you)

It's all about you (it's not about you)

It's all about you (it's not about you)

It's all about you, it's all about you
