Breaking Chains: Battling Modern Struggles in 'Anxiety Attack'
Lyrics
I’ve never been the king of the sea
Expressing a lack of dominance or control in life, particularly in the metaphorical "sea" of challenges.

I'm bound to burn out of this rate

So cut me out and call me a disgrace

Leading back to my vulnerable self

Prescribe me with your Xanax pills

I never laughed where i never belonged
Never experiencing joy in situations where one doesn't belong.
On my feet I try to go on
Struggling to move forward, but making an effort.
Everyday seems another mistake
Acknowledging a series of mistakes in daily life.
But with everyday we get to change our faith
Recognizing the potential for positive change with each passing day.
We're the kings of our delicate seas
Claiming agency as rulers of one's own challenges and difficulties.
We're the queens of our inner own dreams

We're the leads of our inner own peace
