[Verse 1]
[Melodic woman]
I'm laying in my bed... I just can't get up...
I leave messages unread... because my head is stuck
All I do is overthink... I burn in the flames I douse...
My brain is on the brink... I don't want to leave my house...

[Melodic woman]
[Bridge]
Demand avoidance ruins my life... just like the anxiety that cuts me like... ahhhhhh-ahhhhh a... knife...

[Heavy tempo shift]
[Chorus]
[Passionate woman]
My life is a struggle, I just can't do simple things!
I won't pick up the phone even when it rings!
Demand avoidance! Oh-oh!
Demand avoidance!
Oh-oh...

[Verse 2]
[Passionate man]
I feel this sense of dread...
So I hide myself away instead...
All I am is this missing link...
And inside of my thoughts, I sink...

[Melodic man]
[Bridge]
Demand avoidance ruins my life... just like the anxiety that cuts me like...
[Duet melodic man & woman]
Ahhhhhh-ahhhhh a... knife...

[Heavy tempo shift]
[Chorus]
[Passionate woman]
My life is a struggle, I just can't do simple things!
I won't pick up the phone even when it rings!
Demand avoidance! Oh-oh!
Demand avoidance!
[Melancholy woman]
Oh-oh... demand avoidance...

[Tempo shift]
[Emotional woman]
I wish I could paint you a picture to clarify me...
Give you some insight into the world that I see...
[Aggressive man]
I don't see things the way you do! I can't alleviate myself from what I've been through!

[Slow tempo shift]
[Melodic woman]
[Bridge]
Demand avoidance ruins my life... just like the anxiety that cuts me like... ahhhhh-ahhhhh a... knife...

[Heavy tempo shift]
[Chorus]
[Passionate woman]
My life is a struggle, I just can't do simple things!
I won't pick up the phone even when it rings!
Demand avoidance! Oh-oh!
Demand avoidance!
Oh-oh... demand avoidance...
