Panic Room
Here in this room again
mind’s racing
the fan on low…
and I’m not to be trusted
can’t be left alone here
with shot gun temples
and a soul full of fear
no worse place than now
I can’t yell it more clearly
I beg for your attention
but I can’t stand you near me
contradiction swimming
in the blood of my veins
I’d cut off my hands
to send toxins to drain
I’m gutless
yet I’m too gutsy for action
say that in public
imagine the reaction
I sit in whirl pools
but I’ve always hated heat
and claim to take a stand
but I’m lazy at my seat
and I’m always on time
as I miss the bus again
I lie in your face
with a devilish grin
I’m harmless
and swear I didn’t mean it
I talk about my conscience
still I’ve never seen it
in a world of swirling confusions
I’m stuck on the spin cycle
madness,
creating contusions
my game’s not over
I need a fresh start
I’m begging for new blood
cus’ I’ve got a good heart
