Panic Attack

Thought I could fake this thing alright
Thought it could somehow get me by
Watching the doctors as they slide
Needles into my eye

Thought I could finally get around
Laughable symptoms keep me down
Faces I see, all keep me blind
And now they're redemption's mine

Now that I can't exchange actions for words
Now that I found these inside fears the worst
Now that I know, there's no place left to hide
Can I become all I thought I might?

As the leaders who follow the path of whoever was standing round them
Call to say what I'm missing and into a detail, they always go
Don't believe them but offer condolences under the circumstances
All too often, I'm missing the spirit to fit in, so call me out
Call me out

Thought I could soundly sleep tonight
Positive clear and breathing right
Panic attacks, panic attacks me now
Seems like a fair redemption

Now that I can't exchange actions for words
Now that I found these inside fears the worst
Now that I know, there's no place left to hide
Can I become all I thought, I might?

As the leaders who follow the path of whoever was standing round them
Call to say what I'm missing and into a detail, they always go
Don't believe them but offer condolences under the circumstances
All too often, I'm missing the spirit to fit in, so call me out
Call me out

Now that I can't exchange actions for words
Now that I found these inside fears the worst
Now that I know, there's no place left to hide
Can I become all I thought, I might?

As the leaders who follow the path of whoever was standing round them
Call to say what I'm missing and into a detail they always go
Don't believe them but offer condolences under the circumstances
All too often, I'm missing the spirit to fit in, so call me out
Call me out again

Thought I could fake this thing alright
Thought it could somehow get me by
Watching the doctors as they try
Slipping a needle in my eye

My eye
A needle in my eye
My eye
A needle in my eye
