Blank Stares 01:49
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!

Well down is up, up is down I'm hearing color, seeing sound Can't keep my feet on the ground Don't think I wanna hang around We gotta escape, from the 5th dimension For now we're here to stay Because of the machine I made Don't think I like it this way That's why we gotta escape
3.
They got me, yeah they got me, they got me under surveillance... I don't know who, and I don't know why But I look out my window and I see them outside Pick up my phone, and I hear a weird hum, Big Brother's got me under his thumb I see those cameras in the street, and I hang my head in defeat I see those cameras in the store, and I don't think I can take it no more I know someone is reading my mail, I try and catch 'em, but I always fail Who was that , did you just see? I swear that car is following me There's a van parked down the street from my residence, Reporting my daily routine to the President We can't talk here, it isn't safe We can't talk here, it isn't safe

Gotta maintain, gotta maintain radio silence... Got to shut communications down Before the word gets out all over town This frequency is not secure, we can't be sure they haven't heard I know they've got their ears pressed to the ground Gotta maintain, gotta maintain radio silence... If they found out what we've been up to There's no telling things that they might do Got to keep it incognito, under radar, laying low Can't risk the information getting through

Telepathy 02:06
Every day I wish that I couldn't hear you But it's ringing in my brain every time that I'm near you I can read your thoughts & I can read your mind Feels like it's happening all of the time You're broadcasting signals can't you change the frequency? I use telepathy... I don't think I belong in this place What's in your head isn't showing on your face I hear you wonder why I look so strange Your private thoughts are plain to see inside my brain I wish you could lock me out but I've got the key I use telepathy... It's got a catch, it's got a catch, It's a curse, it's not a gift... Tapped into the collective unconscious There doesn't seem to be a way for me to ignore this It just isn't fair, it just isn't right Waking me up when I'm asleep at night Too much on my mind, there's no vacancy I use telepathy...

Tick Tick 02:34
Tick, tick, ticking like a timebomb in my heart Tick, tick, ticking like a timebomb, and I'm gonna get blown apart Tick, tick, ticking like a timebomb in my head Tick, tick, ticking like a timebomb and I know that I'll end up dead I can hear the timer counting down, don't know how long I've got I want to cut the wires but I don't know where to start Back & forth I pace the floor, oh how long can I last? I know it's not "if", but "when" I'm gonna feel the blast Hours, minutes, seconds left, just how long I can't tell Wouldn't do me any good, so I guess it's just as well So back & forth I pace the floor, oh how long can I last? I know it's not "if", but "when" I'm gonna feel the blast

In Stasis 01:53
I think I want to be frozen in carbonite Wake me up when everything is alright World around me just giving me the creeps I don't wanna do nothing, I just wanna go to sleep now In stasis! !n stasis! I just don't think that I can take this In stasis! !n stasis! I don't think I can take this anymore Everything I see is so pathetic Make it go away with general anesthetic All around me just confusion and hate The only solution is hibernate now

Friday Night 02:03
I'm gonna be with you on Friday night, I'd rather be with her on Saturday, right. I got a wandering eye, and if knew you'd surely die, you know that I'll be true cause baby, I love you. I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you or maybe her...well, I don't know...cause I'm a jerk. I'm gonna wake up next to you in bed, I'd rather wake up next to her instead. Well that's my situation, and it's causing me frustration, but know that I'll be true, cause baby I love you... I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you or maybe her...well, I don't know...cause I'm a jerk

Panic Room 01:38
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
11.
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.
