Fighting Atrophy

Unyielding pace, white-knuckled
 Cerebral break, the muscle fighting atrophy, the closing gap
 Waking each day in alarm
 Reprise, replay as though a necessary talk compels us all to arms
 Maybe we need a life map
 From the disease, the relapse
 Breathe in, breathe out, detach, calm down
 How can we stay connected?
 Unsettled, subjected to everyone's concern in unison
 Anxiety and panic
 Withering frames,
 the frantic screaming at the sky as their dehumanized
 Maybe we need a life map
 From the disease, the relapse
 Breathe in, breathe out, detach, find a way out
 I hear there are monsters in your room
 Acute and chronic
 Even those demons aren't immune
 Plentiful of pressure, nights awake, terror, agony
 Maybe we need a life map
 Surrendering the roadmaps
 Programs, policy, certainty, absolutes
 I know the monsters in your room
 Acute and chronic
 Breathe in, breathe out, I know the way out
 Even those demos aren't immune
 Susceptible to restraint, mercy
 They'll vacate when you stop fighting
