These Arms Are Snakes Lyrics

Never mind the marrow of the program.
Don't worry about the inner workings of things, focus on what's on the surface.

The bone was meant to be viewed from a distance.
Some things are only meant to be observed from afar, not dissected up close.

And if I bite my cheeks long enough I figure I could eat right throught the skin.
I am so anxious that I am literally chewing myself, and I feel like I might break through my own skin.

So breath slow and gnaw on.
Take deep breaths and try to calm down, even if it feels like something is gnawing at you.

And while you suck on your pills for your composure
You are trying to calm down by taking medication for your anxiety.

It's like a light just burned out in your head.
Your anxiety has suddenly gotten worse and you feel like your mind has gone blank.

Then while it nestes in your vertabrae
Your anxiety is causing physical sensations and is taking root in your spine.

I'm like and epideral harvesting
I am like a doctor administering an epidural to help ease your pain.

So breath slow then stop.
Try to breathe slowly to calm down, but eventually your body might just shut down entirely.

I'll take you in again.
I will help guide you through your anxiety again, even though it may be difficult.

Your breathing pattern is key to this thearapy.
Controlling your breathing is an important part of managing anxiety.

Then find your favorite vein and watch for the pulse.
Find a place where you feel comfortable and calm, and focus on your heartbeat as a way to center yourself.

Yes, there it is now.
You have successfully found your pulse and are starting to calm down.

Begin.
Now that you have found your center, you can begin to manage your anxiety.

Treat it like a push pin push it till it gets in.
Sometimes facing anxiety head-on is necessary, and you have to push through it until you overcome it.

Rue for skin.
The anxiety is causing physical pain and discomfort.

Tile for eyes.
The anxiety is causing feelings of being trapped or stuck.

Deep black gums changing you from the inside
Your anxiety is not just affecting your physical body, but also changing your emotional state.

You buried your self into your hands.
You are physically trying to protect yourself from the anxiety by covering your face and eyes.

It takes it all away.
The physical act of covering your face and eyes helps to temporarily ease the anxiety.

May myself be caught in this I can always look to the sky.
Even if I am stuck in this anxiety, I can still find solace and hope by looking up at the sky.

Pronounce the words softly and then breath slow.
Try to calm down by speaking softly and taking deep breaths.

Breath slow.
A reminder to continue taking deep breaths to help manage anxiety.

It's just another way I'm going to have to carry you.
An acknowledgement that managing anxiety is an ongoing process that may require outside help and support.

On a sling on a leash.
The process of managing anxiety might feel restrictive or limiting, like being tethered to something.

It's got you in one it's got you in four.
Anxiety can feel like it has complete control over you, in all aspects of your life.

So belittled your almost gone.
Anxiety can make you feel small and insignificant, and like you are disappearing.

It takes the first spark to make it through the night.
The process of managing anxiety can feel daunting, but all it takes is a small spark of success to help you get through each day.

It takes all night just to get it right.
Managing anxiety is a long and difficult process that requires perseverance and patience.

It's right now.
Despite the difficulties, it is important to focus on the present moment and take small steps towards managing anxiety.
