The Age Of Anxiety lyrics

I just wanna live inside sometimes

Don't wanna have to beg you to subscribe

Are you a man before your father dies?

"But what’s a man these days?" I hear you cry

And are we raising up our children right?

Is my career gonna reignite?

See all the virtue signalers tonight

I want that bandwagon to pass me by

Well, I've been scratching around in the dirt

Looking for meaning in the cold, cold earth

To gather in what's left of your self-worth

Cause only love is what survives of us

Cause I hold onto you

And you hold onto me

A tiny victory in the age of anxiety

Do those kids know that I was somebody?

And I’ve kept all my texts from Amy

My mother was one of those bodies

Another stranger off the ferry

Don't wanna put my hands up in the air

And raise my phone up like I just don't care

And [?] blow me down the White House stairs

Oh, did I waste my time on all that prayer?

No, I won't be your apparatchik

And be the kind who's blind to all its magic

So here comes your European exit

With asylum seekers in your attic

So I hold onto you

And you hold onto me

A tiny victory in the age of anxiety

Today I do not feel like being strong

I don't wanna admit to the world I'm wrong

Don't make me feel that I have to belong

I hope the band won’t make me sing along

Cause I hold onto you

And you hold onto me

A tiny victory in the age of anxiety

A shining victory in the age of anxiety

I hope the band won’t make me sing along

I hope the band won't make me sing along

Oh, mmm

The age of anxiety

I hope the band

I hope the band

I hope the band

I hope the band

I hope the band won’t make me

Whoa, whoa

I hope the band won't make me

Whoa, whoa

I hope the band won't make me

Whoa, whoa

I hope the band won't make me

Whoa, whoa (Love survives of us)

Whoa, whoa (Love survives of us)

Whoa, whoa (Only love survives of us)

(Whoa, only love survives of us)
