[Intro]
St. Catharines Psychiatric Help Line, this is Nancy
I'm sure this is all gonna sound really ridiculous, and uh
I don't exactly expect anyone to believe all this
Uh, for the last little while I've been keeping correspondence with my sanity
And uh, I really get the feeling that I'm starting to lose interest in the letter-writing process
The pieces of the letters just get progressively shorter and shorter until it's not even a reply
I uh, the whole thing makes me really nervous
I just wish I could show you what a huge problem this is

[Verse 1]
As life hangs beside me
I gather all that I can
You were never one for confrontation
But now, it lies all in your hands

[Pre-Chorus]
(I kind of have this teally terrible habit of asking myself all these stupid questions, right?)
Your hands
(Like what if uh, what if there's a spot on my body that I can touch to keep my heart from beating?
Or like, what if, what if there's this uh)
Your hands
(Stray bullet out there that's gonna come through my window and take me out?
Like what if uh, what if there's this huge unstoppable comet that's just gonna like)
Your hands
(Destroy the Earth and all of us? Like, what, what if that's happening right now?)
Your hands
(How can I avoid all these questions if I don't have that?
Like, who is gonna be here? Why, who is gonna be there in the hospital?)
Your hands
(Who is gonna tell me that all this is bullshit, it's a dream? Just a dream
This is not a joke, and uh, I'll never sleep)
[Refrain]
Who will be there to tell me how stupid I am?
Who will be there to tell me how stupid I am?
Who will be there to tell me how stupid I am?
Who will be there to tell me how stupid I am?

[Chorus]
Who will keep me from lashing out? (Lashing out)
Anxiety chokes me like razorwire (Razorwire)
Who will keep me from lashing out? (Lashing out)
Anxiety chokes me like razorwire (Razorwire)

[Outro]
Now it's all in your hands, in your hands
Now it's all in your hands, in your hands
Now it's all in your hands, in your hands
Now it's all in your hands, in your hands
Anxiety chokes me like razorwire, razorwire
Razorwire, razorwire
Razorwire, razorwire
Razorwire, razorwire
Razorwire
