what if I am addicted to getting in my own way / my own way
is littered with anxiety / litter is what everyone agrees isn’t supposed to be there
but I wouldn’t recognize myself without the anxiety /
I am just three anxieties in a trench coat—

is not the same as self-conscious / which is not the same as self-centered
but you’re lookin at a three for one, baby!
