Blank Stares 01:51
Blank stares, are all I've got for you... Blank stares, are all you'll get from me... Blank stares, are all I've got for you... Blank stares, are all you'll get from me... Blank stares! Blank stares, got nothing to say to you... Blank stares, every time you talk to me... Blank stares, got nothing to say to you... Blank stares, every time you talk to me... Blank stares!

Hypnotized 01:48
I'm hypnotised, hypnotised, you got me hypnotised Locked in a trance & mesmerized I'm hypnotised, hypnotised, you got me hypnotised Under the control of your cool green eyes You got me doing stuff against my will yeah Just say the word & I'll probably even kill yeah Only thought once but I should've thought twice Well I should've known & I should've realized Just say the word & I activate yeah Just like the Manchurian Candidate yeah My loyalty was never in question Under the spell of your suggestion

Nowhere Zone 02:08
I'm living in the nowhere zone, got no car & I got no phone I'm living in the nowhere zone oh no, oh no, oh no! I'm living in the nowhere zone, I can feel the chill in my bones I'm living in the nowhere zone oh no, oh no, oh no! Well the street is always dark & street is always cold My neighbors are all weird & my neighbors are all old Well there ain't no fun to be found because there ain't no one around The days are all so wrong & the nights are all so long The light of the snow on the TV is my only illumination Sitting my room it's all boredom & alienation Well I don't have no money, & I don't have no time All I've got is these words but I'm afraid that they won't rhyme

This earth has got no place for me, and there's nothing else that I can be, each day it brings me to my knees. Disconnected from this world I just don't understand, I am...the obsolete man. Can't belong but I can't be free, no future that I can foresee, discarded cultural debris, I try to find a purpose but I don't think that I can, I am...the obsolete man.
5.
If I was a creep, If I was a creep, If I was a creep... If was a creep then you'd be the first to know You don't have to lock your doors You don't have to close your blinds I'm not outside, no oh I'm not outside

Lab Rats 02:13
Gotta go to work and run through the maze cause we're lab rats. Racing each other for the cheese every day, cause we're lab rats. Seems like I spend all my time running on this wheel, electrodes on my head are there to tell you how I feel. Stick us with a needle and listen to us squeal cause we're lab rats. Don't stuff us in too close to one another cause we're lab rats. If it gets overcrowded we'll eat each other cause we're lab rats. Cosmetics on our skin, and drugs are in our food, chemicals in the water there to help control our mood. Don't pull on my tail cause I think it's pretty rude cause we're lab rats. The men observe us in their long white coats cause we're lab rats. They watch what we do and they take down notes cause we're lab rats. They never tell us why, but only that we must. Don't know what they're up to or what they want from us. I think we should view them with a healthy distrust cause we're lab rats.

Panic Room 01:55
In the panic room...in the panic room... Locked inside this room is where I'll stay These walls will keep the outside world at bay My haven has all I could ever need Isolation that I'll never leave Barricaded here inside my home Solitary world to call my own Screens show me the world as it goes by I can't relate so I won't even try
10.
You look like at me like a sideshow freak, yeah And you treat me like a circus geek, yeah Go ahead & point and laugh now Someday you're gonna face my wrath now You look at me like I'm a pinhead And you treat me just like you want me dead You look at me like I'm insane Well, I look at you & I fell the same Like a sideshow, like a sideshow freak You look at me like a bearded lady Do it all the time & it drives me crazy Think you got the answers like a fortune teller Want to keep me locked in the cellar You think I'm a fake like the Fiji Mermaid Try & tear me down like it's some kinda crusade Think you run the show like the ringmaster This is gonna end up in disaster

about

The Anxieties Portland

The Anxieties are a four-piece punk rock band formed in Eugene, but now based in Portland, Oregon. Dusted Magazine called us "garage rockin' punk, mad scientist-core for the paranoid and suspicious" and that sounds about right to me.
