about

This song is for anyone who is currently suffering from anxiety, as some of us will. I reduced anxiety to simply a bridge between one side full of demons, expectations, and fickle judges and the other side full of people who are free spirits. They are mortal enemies of each other, and the anxious want to be amongst the spirited, only to find themselves controlled by demons who will either tell them they won't fit in, it isn't worth it or that the spirited are bad people to be around and will judge them equally, which isn't true.

lyrics

You will find me
On the bridge of anxiety
Demons at my feet
And they are daring me
To race my way through
Find out what I'd fall to
Or turn like a coward
And run back to you

This is where you end
And I begin

No need to wonder if
That is where freedom lives
Survivors all look happy
That's what they want for me
"Come on over! You're missing out on the fun!"
This is where I must stare down the demons and tell them all:

This is where you end
And I begin

It's a long way down
And a long way over
("Come on over! You're missing out on the fun!" )

Before I started really writing songs, I did fairly lo-fi electronica, where the hiss and reverbs actually worked for the compositions. Every recording on this bandcamp is mine. mynameisblueskye
