about

This song is a poignant look at how our own choices contribute to our anxiety and depression -- what we choose to buy, what we choose to eat and how we choose to communicate. It’s honest about being lazy, inhumane, intermittently motivated and of having a lack of self-discipline.

lyrics

Maybe I have anxiety because I ruin other people and the planet
Maybe it’s why I’m so upset why I always feel outside of my element
Maybe I feel the butterfly effect of the people I affect by what I own
I know that it’s wrong but I keep buying
The products the chain is supplying
I reach for the pills because my heart has had too much
I know that it’s wrong but I keep buying
The products the chain is supplying
I reach for the pills because my head has had too much
Maybe I got depression because everything I eat is toxic
Maybe I feel the pressure of the war that’s so far from where I call home
Maybe I have depression because I buy everything that I am sold
I wanna get up and quit watching TV I can’t press off on the remote
I know that it’s wrong but I keep buying
The products the chain is supplying
I reach for the pills because my heart has had too much
I know that it’s wrong but I keep buying
The products the chain is supplying
I reach for the pills because my head has had too much
I think it’s not that important
I act like it doesn’t even matter
There’s so much I don’t wanna feel responsible for
I have the choice to ignore it
I don’t have to explore it
Ultimately it is out of my control
Why should I even try I cannot change the world
Maybe I have anxiety because I’m horrible at communication
Maybe I should of said something instead of letting it all blow up
Maybe I have a right to be just as upset as I really am
Advertisers are so tricky they started targeting me before I was born
They poison me with their diapers and powder and oil
I know that it’s wrong but I keep buying
The products the chain is supplying
I reach for the pills because my heart has had too much
I know that it’s wrong but I can’t help it
However goods get to me I will put up with it
I reach for the pills because my head has had too much
Maybe I got anxiety because everything I love is plastic
If there’s ever a fire everything I love would melt away
