I'm watching TV And I'm reminded of something from way back when And it makes me feel guilty And then I'm distracted all over again by something on the TV And I forget what I remembered And now I'm absently watching, but I'm still feeling guilty Like a little old dog Whining on about something that they can't see But I can't tell what's wrong Just that something's not working inside of me And now the show is over But the episode is still far from done It's a marathon weekend And I'm just cuing up another rerun Anticipated this my whole life when the Stress becomes me We all know it's just a matter of time before the Stress becomes me And now it's here and now I'm doin' it, doin' it Stress becomes me My therapist says that I am not my emotions Stress becomes me Stress becomes me I know I should go outside I know I should be meditating or phoning a friend Or just eating right Not watching my progress unravel again It's just day by day Watching the gains that I've made get stripped away Until there's nothing but me All alone with my own anxieties Anticipated this my whole life when the Stress becomes me We all know it's just a matter of time before the Stress becomes me And now it's here and now I'm doin' it, doin' it Stress becomes me My therapist says that I am not my emotions Stress becomes me Stress becomes me Like a helpless little dog, whining on about something they can't see Anticipated this my whole life when the Stress becomes me We all know it's just a matter of time before the Stress becomes me And now it's here and now I'm doin' it, doin' it Stress becomes me My therapist says that I am not my emotions Stress becomes me Stress becomes me Stress becomes me Stress becomes me
