When panic lives inside your soul
And it dwells and never leaves
Burrows into your heart and makes it shake and tremble
Like unsteady hands on a river bank of despair
Waiting to pull you into the current of sorrow
And drown you in the depths of depressions
When panic sits upon your walls
And digs its eyes into the back of your skull
Providing you with the intensity of fear
When nothing makes sense
And the one track mind that drives you so hard
Runs you in circles around in search of a finish line across the world
When panic lies in your bed
And it’s the last thing you stare at when you shut your eyes
So that its smile grants you an unsettling ease
So that the shrill shrieks may be muffled in the air
Alongside the winds of disgust
For all to hear witness at your own failures
And the panic shakes the room with each step towards you
So that you may never run to escape the shakes it grants
(Two endings)
Let the panic come
Let it die
Let it breathe
Because panic is here to stay
So let it take a seat
(Alternate)
And trembles it delivers cascades you deeper down
Pray
Pray that please
Please may it just be let down to die
