I yearn to fly high, yet I cry and die

Slowly one shallow breath a time

Looking for the day I won't have anything to defy

The day I can be me rather than be a mime 

I yearn to go far, but there's no engine in my car

There's no fuel, I'm gone and my time here is done

If only I could reach the great days of Wunderbar

In those days I could smile and have some more fun

I yearn to be a light, yet I constantly fight

I wrestle with the demons that haunt me at night

No matter what I do I still don't have the might

Nor the power to truly set me free of my fright

And slowly flesh by flesh

And slowly bone by bone

And slowly cell by cell

I am broken down and apart

I yearn to be me but

You have told me no

My anxiety just won't let me go
