Panic (A Love Story)‏

There’s panic on the streets of my town

when my insecurities become impurities

If I could swim with the ease of your liberties

I would most certainly never drown

There’s worry inside my head

As my brain rises out of its bed

I could analyze this until I despise what I miss

But I’d rather hyper-criticize every last inch of this

It’s as if I am swimming in an ocean of doubt

But the rain clouds above

Help me think my way out

As the water is receding

The deeper I’m bleeding

Those sharks are circling

As if I am what they’re needing

To devour my heart

As it dangles on my sleeve

I pray for the rain

And any reason I should leave

There’s panic in the water

At the mere rumors of danger

I could love you forever

Or just be a stranger

I’m an angel away

From meeting my maker

I’m sure the devil herself

Wants me to call her my creator

That’s how it goes when there’s panic in hell

All the good people

Put their souls out for sale

It’s as if instant gratification is the new blue

Like a drug in my vein

The yellow becomes you

They say colors are the reason

We all want a different view

I say colors are the reason

I only want you

There’s panic on the streets of my town

When my insecurities invade your liberties

And I wear my impurities like a crown

I am the king of my fate

But I’m once again late

There’s panic everywhere

When we are told just to wait

I could analyze this until my kingdom should come

Or I could turn back around and return

To where I came from

But I’d rather scream and panic for no simple reason

For every familiar color, we have a new season

That’s how it goes when nobody knows

that panic clings to hope and it doesn’t know better

I could worry myself to an early death

Or I could just love you forever.
