Paroles de Panic

I wrote 'panic' one night last year in an attempt to channel my anxiety into creativity - to let it push me in a different direction or to dive a little deeper than i otherwise would've gone. it feels very weird to be going about business as usual and releasing/promoting a new song in such a surreal and uncertain time, but in these last few weeks of distance and isolation i have found myself turning to music and art more than ever. panic is out everywhere now ~ i hope you like it x
lyrics
for weeks i looked behind me
in darkest hours i’d leave the light on
couldn’t see much out but you’d see in
i hoped you’d try to find me
i played for you, but seconds in you tossed me
like a gull tossed in the wind

and i can feel the panic setting in
and i can feel the panic setting in

now i can’t read your writing
but i like the way it looks across the pages of your books
and i can hear it
like a record spinning around the corners of my mind
like a self-portrait from a time when you see in

in darkest hours i’d leave the light on
i can feel the panic setting in
in darkest hours i’d leave the light on
i can feel the panic setting in

for weeks you’ve been beside me
i feel you crashing over me
can i make this any easier for you?
like constant white of clouded sky sometimes i could just disappear entirely
i’m heavyweight desperate now
is everything i’m doing just for you?
would i do anything for you?

could i make this more convenient for you?
like constant white of clouded sky sometimes i could just disappear entirely
i’m heavyweight desperate now
is everything i’m doing just for you?
i’ll do anything for you

i’ll do anything for you
i’ll do anything
