People often tell us to "just breathe," completely misunderstanding how exhausting it is to fight a war inside your own mind while wearing a smile for the rest of the world. This acoustic version strips away all the heavy production to create an intimate, confessional space where it's okay to admit that you're not perfectly fine. If you feel like you are screaming in silence, this song is your safe space. [Lyrics] I don’t even know when you showed up... But now you’re louder than my own voice. Dear Anxiety, You moved in without asking, made a mess inside my head Now I’m pacing in the mirror, hearing every word you said You told me I’m a failure, you whisper when I pray You say I’m just pretending when I smile and say I’m okay Tried to drown you in the liquor, tried to run into the dark But you follow me like shadows, carving X’s on my heart They think I’m doing better 'cause I’m posting all the time But no one sees the battles that I fight inside my mind I’ve been screaming in silence, breaking in peace Wearing a smile, but I’m dying beneath I don’t want to feel you, but you’re all that I see Dear Anxiety, won’t you please set me free? You steal my sleep at midnight, make me question every step I rehearse every word like I’m speaking to my death I’ve lost friends to your whisper, pushed love out the door 'Cause I’d rather be alone than feel like a burden anymore I journal all my pain, try to rhyme it into hope But some days the pen shakes too much to even cope They tell me “just breathe,” like I ain’t tried that before This ain’t just a mood swing, this is war I’ve been screaming in silence, breaking in peace Wearing a smile, but I’m dying beneath I don’t want to feel you, but you’re all that I see Dear Anxiety, won’t you please set me free? I know I’m more than this voice in my head... But some days, it’s hard to remember. I just want peace — even for a minute. I’ve been screaming in silence, breaking in peace Wearing a smile, but I’m dying beneath I don’t want to feel you, but you’re all that I see Dear Anxiety... won’t you please... set me free? "An intimate lo-fi acoustic pop and folk ballad featuring a gentle fingerstyle acoustic guitar, soft atmospheric pads, and a vulnerable, soft male vocal. The production is stripped-down and dry, focusing on raw storytelling and deeply melancholic themes about mental health, anxiety, depression, and silent struggles. Perfect for late-night reflection playlists, sad acoustic mixes, and deep thinking lo-fi music." #CocoBara #mrcocobara #DearAnxiety #MentalHealthAwareness #AcousticFolk #LoFiAcoustic #SongsAboutAnxiety #IndependentArtist #PainMusic #HealingJourney
