Life is strange now Silent guardians of ghost towns Will he be coming back for his crown Psychoanalysis lockdown Isolation Contemplation All my favorite things to do Panicked for a few days but now I'm cucumber cool And now I'm doing just fine I've been feeling alright I've been taking my time That introvert life Not been losing my mind Sleeping well every night Feeling cozy inside I have a troubled mind Where the siren's ringing all the time I've been preparing for this all my life Anticipation of the worst kind Isolation Contemplation All my favorite things to do Panicked for a few days but now I'm cucumber cool And now I'm doing just fine I've been feeling alright I've been taking my time That introvert life Not been losing my mind Sleeping well every night Feeling cozy inside That introvert life Now I'm doing just fine I've been feeling alright I've been taking my time That introvert life Not been losing my mind Sleeping well every night Feeling cozy inside That introvert life Got lost in the Ozarks Been good, doing my part They have professors of a different kind Just me and my best friend Facing the world of the end All tried and tested, we're good And now I'm doing just fine I've been feeling alright I've been taking my time That introvert life Not been losing my mind Sleeping well every night Feeling cozy inside That introvert life Now I'm doing just fine I've been feeling alright I've been taking my time That introvert life Not been losing my mind Sleeping well every night Feeling cozy inside That introvert life

He's got his finger on the wound Never had to compromise Always got what he pursued 'Cause he left wife and kids behind When you're told that you can have it all You think it's what you deserve He still thinks that he's a golden boy And the truth oh it would hurt He's consuming all the way Women, wine and song they say, no (no) He's the painter she's the paint Eve was made to entertain, no (no) Oh no no, This mediocre man got old Last of his kind Oh no no, The beauty of the tales untold And when the loser gets the girl Although she's way out of his league That's the way he sees the world Blinded by his vanity Terrified of level playing fields He never had to prove his worth When confidence no longer pays the bills He'll get just what he deserves He's consuming all the way Women, wine and song they say, no (no) He's the painter she's the paint Eve was made to entertain, no (no) Oh no no, This mediocre man got old Last of his kind Oh no no, The beauty of the tales untold The future's mine Old man let me tell you What you got ain't of value Wanna hear a new story Good old boy getting boring No, no no, no no no no no no no no Last of his kind No, no no, no no no no no no no no The future's mine Oh no no, This mediocre man got old Last of his kind Oh no no, The beauty of the tales untold

My Behavior 03:12

Take more chances Circumstances never just appear Get out of your comfort zone or You'll be stuck right here Okay, but what if there are problems That I haven't yet foreseen If I can't control the feelings When they're rushing over me I've been training my avoidance Now it's muscle memory I know I know I know I know Need to work on my behavior And I do it every day, ya What I don't need is a savior Wanna stop running away, ya Need to work on my behavior And I do it every day, ya What I don't need is a savior Wanna stop running away, ya Get out there and leave this dead end Don't submit to fear Recognise catastrophising Thoughts when they appear Okay but what if there's an asteroid That wipes out humankind? What if I will get embarrassed And they're leaving me behind? How do other people do this All while having peace of mind I know I know I know I know Need to work on my behavior And I do it every day, ya What I don't need is a savior Wanna stop running away, ya Need to work on my behavior And I do it every day, ya What I don't need is a savior Wanna stop running away, ya Need to work on my behavior And I do it every day, ya What I don't need is a savior Wanna stop running away, ya Need to work on my behavior And I do it every day, ya What I don't need is a savior Wanna stop running away, ya Love, I'm doing it Look at me, I'm doing it right now I'm doing doing it it it it Love, I'm doing it Look at me, I'm doing it right now I'm doing doing it it My behavior And I do it every day, ya What I don't need is a savior Wanna stop running away, ya Need to work on my behavior And I do it every day, ya What I don't need is a savior Wanna stop running away, ya Need to work on my behavior And I do it every day, ya What I don't need is a savior Wanna stop running away, ya Need to work on my behavior And I do it every day, ya What I don't need is a savior Wanna stop running away, ya

In her Sunday dress isn't she a doll Never unprepared she's got her armor on Enemies in the streets in the schools in her sheets They need her to be weak She'll be highly exposed with her heart made of gold They will tear at her soul She wants angels falling from the sky She can't wait to watch those sinners die Waiting for the end hoping for the worst She's not just anyone she's a chosen girl Enemies in the streets in the schools in her sheets They need her to be weak She'll be highly exposed with her heart made of gold They will tear at her soul She wants angels falling from the sky She can't wait to watch those sinners die There'll be riders culling from above All those heathens in the name of love I don't feel haunted I am devoted For paradise, you need a ticket and I own it Enjoy the choir Your lake of fire I can not join you I'll be staying so much higher She wants angels falling from the sky She can't wait to watch those sinners die There'll be riders culling from above All those heathens in the name of love

Oh indulge, I'd love to but I can't today Get involved, Oh I want to but I shouldn't stay 'Cause I, I try to get better Just need to storm this weather She begs me, I let her It all takes time 'Cause I wanna ditch the poison I've been Clinging to for all these years And I want to be the woman that has Broken free from all her fears Oh in the inbetween Wake me when we're getting to the other side Oh where I've never been Wake me when we're getting to the other side I could have given up some time ago But by now, I just might have found an antidote And it's no longer half-hearted Endured and disregarded It's time now, it started Some Peace of Mind 'Cause I wanna ditch the poison I've been Clinging to for all these years And I want to be the woman that has Broken free from all her fears Oh in the inbetween Wake me when we're getting to the other side Oh where I've never been Wake me when we're getting to the other side Oh in the inbetween Wake me when we're getting to the other side Oh where I've never been Wake me when we're getting to the other side Freed from my inhibitions Visualize Agree to all conditions Leave it behind Oh in the inbetween Wake me when we're getting to the other side Oh where I've never been Wake me when we're getting to the other side Oh in the inbetween Wake me when we're getting to the other side Oh where I've never been Wake me when we're getting to the other side

Gold Rush 03:25
lyrics

I have heard some rumors lately There is poison in the air they tell me They want us to suffocate in safety On a very short leash, God help me They control the information That they tell us on TV There are things they don't want us to see Like the fact that they're cold-blooded In more ways you understand We're the only ones who'll take a stand Gold Rush Stay behind or come with us We're the ones that you can trust We got secrets baby hush I have stepped behind the curtain They can't get me with their fake diversions All the things I knew are now uncertain Need to open people's eyes, convert them All those experts think they're better than you Lying to your face Nothing that they say should make you change Your opinion is as valid as their doctorate degree Buy my book and buy the truth from me Gold Rush Stay behind or come with us We're the ones that you can trust We got secrets baby hush Wrapped around my finger you are Dancing on the edge Soon we'll have you dragged in too far Scare and disconnect Gold Rush Stay behind or come with us We're the ones that you can trust We got secrets baby hush Gold Rush Stay behind or come with us We're the ones that you can trust We got secrets baby hush

Urban Machine 03:50

I have had it with all this commotion Give me a drink and an ocean Find the loneliest beach and I'm golden That's the life We could stay in a hut in the mountains Civilization without them Stars in the sky we could count them 'Cause there is nothing here for me Urban machine, like a bad dream Daisies on the pavement ain't enough for me I want it to be evergreen I'm dreaming of a Wednesday night By the riverside Where the water's cold and clear Away from all the mellow grey lights Of city life How I'd love to stay right here The air would taste like rainy sunsets Not cigarettes From a neighbour's balcony Unruly birds are waking us up Not garbage trucks Won't you stay right here with me I'll be running away from the streetlights Bathe in the darkness at midnight Only get out of bed when it feels right That's the life When our eyes will adjust to the distance Realise what we've been missing No need to talk, baby, listen 'Cause there is nothing here for me Urban machine, like a bad dream Daisies on the pavement ain't enough for me I want it to be evergreen I'm dreaming of a Wednesday night By the riverside Where the water's cold and clear Away from all the mellow grey lights Of city life How I'd love to stay right here The air would taste like rainy sunsets Not cigarettes From a neighbour's balcony Unruly birds are waking us up Not garbage trucks Won't you stay right here with me Loosen up In my arms There is nobody around We can have What we want Nobody gonna take it It may seem Like a dream But it's real enough to me Maybe one day it will be I'm dreaming of a Wednesday night By the riverside Where the water's cold and clear Away from all the mellow grey lights Of city life How I'd love to stay right here The air would taste like rainy sunsets Not cigarettes From a neighbour's balcony Unruly birds are waking us up Not garbage trucks Won't you stay right here with me

Sad Girl 03:17

She's a ghost of a past life, a memory She's the one that keeps me from recovery I think she has now taken enough from me Letting her go My demons are separate entities Those feelings you see aren't all of me I'm a mirror of your expectations so I let her go Sad girl is gone Sad girl is gone She'll be lost, never found Buried deep underground She is gone They see her every time that they look at me Like I have to live up to a fantasy Only she represents what I'd rather Forget and outgrow My demons are separate entities Those feelings you see aren't all of me I'm a mirror of your expectations so I let her go Sad girl is gone Sad girl is gone She'll be lost, never found Buried deep underground She is gone Don't let me become What my past dictates It feels like I'm sculpted by fear and by pain I'm taking control, I've planned my escape Now you know, now you know Sad girl is gone Sad girl is gone She'll be lost, never found Buried deep underground She is gone Sad girl is gone Sad girl is gone She'll be lost, never found Buried deep underground She is gone

Eat Up 03:04

I'm saying give me their heads The simulation is dead They're taking all that we have and all we had Come out we're having a trial Been overdue for a while There'll be no stone left unturned in paradise For too long no retribution A taste of revolution Tonight we're starting with a feast Come, set the table, go wash your hands Put on the best outfit you have We brought our appetite, eat up girls That's what they get for starting a war We won't go hungry anymore Fill up your bellies now, eat up boys Let's make them pay for their crimes There'll always be a first time We'll be dissolving their kingdoms with a smile And while we sharpen the blade They'll get a chance to behave Show us they're more than just reckless and depraved For too long no retribution A taste of revolution Tonight we're starting with a feast Come, set the table, go wash your hands Put on the best outfit you have We brought our appetite, eat up girls That's what they get for starting a war We won't go hungry anymore Fill up your bellies now, eat up boys Let's make amends 99% Without us, there is no them Come, set the table, go wash your hands Put on the best outfit you have We brought our appetite, eat up girls That's what they get for starting a war We won't go hungry anymore Fill up your bellies now, eat up boys

about

The album title "Applied Anxiety" is a playful reference to applied sciences: Understanding and using my anxiety is what's driving me to do most things that I do.
While two of the songs on the album revolve around anxiety, the rest of the songs deal with topics ranging from politics to city fatigue.
