Sage Francis - Li(f)e Worry Not

Lyrics

Worry not. Keep your stress in check.
Anxiety's a disease. You gotta' learn to live with it.
The cancer spreads. It'll eat right through.
There ought to be a quarantine for people like you.

I keep clenching my jaw while I sleep.
But I ain't got no dental insurance so I purchased a mouth piece.
It helps me collect all my teeth
'Cause they keep falling out in my dreams.
I'm repeating each step 'til I'm knee deep in sweat.
'Til you need deeper sleep, between sheets you'll need sex.
If you need to eat meat then just feed on the flesh.
If your will power's weak, seek and ye shall find death.
It'll rent, it'll lease, it'll own you.
You can't teach no new tricks to no old fool.
I've been banned from the bible but I stand on my own two.
Running from self but my legs have no clue.
Burning through every last nerve that I've got.
This condition is more than deserved but i'm not
Killing the time. I'm wringing its neck. Choking it out and I'm stealing its breath.
Sucking it in and then blowing a kiss
To the caution I tossed to the wind...like...this.

Worry not. Keep your stress in check.
Anxiety's a disease. You gotta' learn to live with it.
The cancer spreads. It'll eat right through.
There ought to be a quarantine for people like you.

Oh, you're scared of the dark? Then sleep in the light.
You came for the bark but then leave when I bite?
You're breaking a sweat. You faint and awake
With a fang in your neck and a pain in your chest.
Now you're losing your power. You're drained and you're wet.
When you threw in the towel I caught it like wreck.
It was well payed. You ain't self made.
You went from daycare to preschool from K through 12th grade
That's some hard-wiring in your brain.
Not to mention the rules of the house where you stayed.
The synagogue, mosque or the church where you prayed
As a child. Tamed like youre wild.
Reprogram. Deprogram.
There ain't nothing they say we don't know, man.
They've been preying on vulnerable people and claiming that everything in us is evil.
I'll see them in hell then. But until then
You should chill, friend. Just chill.
Play pretend with the forces of organized superstition and get played in the end.
You were killing the time, I was wringing it's neck,
Choking it out and then steal its breath.
Sucking it in and then blowing a kiss
To the caution I tossed to the wind...like...this.

Worry not. Keep your stress in check.
Anxiety's a disease. You gotta' learn to live with it.
The cancer spreads. It'll eat right through.
There ought to be a quarantine for people like you.
