Panic Room

Welcome to the panic room

Where nothing is real and you’re stuck in your head

Where the screams get louder and your heart starts to hurt

You grasp at your chest and cover your ears

But you’re stuck, there’s no use in trying

So you close your eyes and yell for help

But nobody is coming and you know you’re alone

Yet you beg and pray hoping someone hears your pleading

You can’t breathe, you hyperventilate, you feel sick

You just need this to end but there’s no happy ever after here

Not for you.
