[Lyrics from live performance and picture disc insert]
[Verse 1: Win Butler & Reginé Chassagne]
It's the age of doubt
And I doubt we’ll figure it out
Is it you or is it me?
The age of anxiety
(Are you talking to me?)
[Verse 2: Win Butler]
Fight the fever with TV
In the age when nobody sleeps
And the pills do nothing for me
In the age of anxiety, now
[Pre-Chorus]
When I look at you, I see what you want me to
See what you want me to, now, now
When you look at me, you see what I want you to see
What I want you to see is me
[Chorus]
In the age of, living in the age of, living in the age of
In the age of, living in the age of, living in the age of
[Verse 3]
It's a maze of mirrors
It's a hologram of a ghost
And you can’t quite touch it
Which is how it hurts us the most
So we keep it all inside (Keep it all inside)
And hide it deep in a drawer
Say your prayers tonight
Someone finds it after the war
[Pre-Chorus]
When I look at you, I see what you want me to
See what you want me to
When you look at me, you see what I want you to see
See what I want you to see
[Chorus]
In the age of, living in the age of, living in the age of
In the age of, living in the age of, living in the age of anxiety
[Refrain: Win Butler & Reginé Chassagne]
Gotta get the spirit out of me
This anxiety that's inside of me
Gotta get the spirit out of me
This anxiety that's inside of me
Gotta get the spirit out of me (Gotta get the spirit out of me)
This anxiety that's inside of me (This anxiety that's inside of me)
Gotta get the spirit out of me (Gotta get the spirit out of me)
This anxiety that's inside of me (This anxiety that's inside of me)
[Bridge: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne]
And I can't stop crying and I really think I mean it
But the tears mean nothing to me (Anxiety)
Another lost baby and I’m riding on my spaceship
In the age of anxiety (Anxiety)
And I can’t stop crying and I really think I mean it
But the tears just fall on the sheet (Anxiety)
Another lost soul tryna try to feel something
Try to feel something, try to feel something in the age of (Anxiety)
[Refrain: Win Butler & Reginé Chassagne]
Gotta get the spirit out of me
This anxiety that's inside of me
For me
(Gotta get the spirit out of me)
Oh, I don’t want to talk, to talk to you (This anxiety that's inside of me)
(Gotta get the spirit out of me)
All the nights go [?]
(This anxiety that's inside of me)
[Outro: Win Butler]
It's all about you
It’s all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's not about you
