Some Kind of Panic Attack
The world has settled down and switched off its light
it has closed its eyes to rest its head
My brain has decided something else is in store for me
as I climb into my bed
Tonight my demons hold me
they surround me and control me
each one could tell a story
of things i'd prefer remain unread
I'm petrified, I'm terrified
of what? I don't know
It presses and crawls over me
I shiver and shake out of control
Hugging my knees in the dark
fingernails gripped into my skin
I can't shut down and time flies
The world wakes from a sleep, I didn't join in
Is everything bigger?
I'm smaller for sure
My minds screams, my heart races
I tremble some more
Someone turn me off
Turn me back on again,
maybe when I have control
My soul doesn't want to live inside this body anymore
I cry and my face turns a boiling blood red
Can someone extinguish these thoughts
burning all through my head?
All of this and I haven't even gotten out of my bed
