Panic Waves

I gave my best to stay alive
Impending waves of perception, caused me to lose traction and realize

Dim the light, lock the doors I know that I can't hide
I feel the panic creeping up my spine

Hold me, regression is gaining leverage but
I can't take this, the river is running dry
Fragments of what has been, I'm treading in the dark
Our carelessness has left its mark

I gave my best to stay alive
Impending waves of perception caused me to lose traction and realize

Beware, as time is running low
We tend to fall apart

Exceptions aspire towards the long-awaited peace of mind
I'm craving infinity, but restlessness evolves the harder I thrive
Peeling skin off, inch by inch to be preoccupied
Hearing footsteps down the hall, composure in disguise

I gave my best to stay alive
Impending waves of perception caused me to lose traction and realize
I tried my best to keep the flame alive
But recognized fear, love and affection won't fix this connection

Every time I get closer, I slip and drift away
I guess this endless well
That kept me fed until you've had
Enough, runs dry the more I'm pouring water

All I wanted was the peace of mind
Nothing left, but these sleepless nights
I slam my head against the fucking wall
Fucking end this, please fucking end this
We tend to fall apart

I tried my best to keep the flame alive but
Recognized fear, love and affection won't fix this connection
I gave my best to stay alive
Impending waves of perception caused me to lose traction and realize
