Sitting here waiting, when's it my turn?
My mind is blank, anxiety burns
Frightening pictures on the cold gray wall
I glance at the ceiling - it begins to fall
The walls are closing in, soon I'll be crushed
My heart-rate increases, cheeks cease to be flushed
I'm stricken with terror, I'm white as a ghost
I can't get away from what I fear most
I've got to get out, I claw at the door
'Til my body is numb, my fingertips sore
I cannot escape, I'm trapped by my fear
I'll kill the bastard who lured me here!
But then the door opens, "Hello" says the nurse
Restoring reality, lifting my curse
The walls shrink back, my mind starts to ease
As she says with a smile, "This way please."
Why was I frightened? There's no real doom
This happens each time I'm in a small room
So I get out of my chair to go see the M.D.
Just one little shot and then I'll be free
For a minute I thought I'd be squished like a beetle
Oh shit, I forgot - I'm afraid of needles!
