Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
The other side of the recovery coin - some days you just don't feel like a superhero. Illness can have more than physical after effects
Lyrics
Anxiety Insecurity In fear of what others think of me In spite of reassurances given me It's debillitating The facade cracks Panic attacks I daren't go out and I can't relax Fear freezes what my backbone lacks It's intimidating How far can I descend? I can't even face my friends Messages I won't send When will it ever end? And how long can I pretend? I'm beginning to comprehend It's broken and it won't mend When will it ever end? All churned up inside I'm paralysed Feeling trapped as if distress has snapped my spine The simplest choices I, I can't decide Incapacititating Worried about everything All conflict fearing No opinions I just try to say the things that you like hearing I repeat your words in the hope of being more endearing Ingratiating How far can I descend? I can't even face my friends Messages I won't send When will it ever end? And how long can I pretend? I'm beginning to comprehend It's broken and it won't mend When will it ever end?
