The theme of this song revolves around the idea of anxiety and its paralyzing effects. It was written to soothe one from anxiety but it also reflects the fact that there is no instant cure for it.
lyrics
Don't cry, little baby
Don't panic, reveal the raw
just sigh, little baby
Get high on the war within
That burning in your breast
That fire you detest
Let it go
Creeping slowly as I close my eyes
are blinded by the silent cries
of vultures deep within my breast
i feel them feast i feel their nest
built out of angst and deep regret
for all the fools who should
forget me now
forget me not
forget me now
forget me not
That burning in your breast
That fire you detest
Let it go
And you ask me now
Can I help you?
Let me help you.
and the answer is
I cant help me
Let me help me
God I cant help myself
God let me help myself
