Panic Text Patricia Taxxon

I like to think I understand what I say
The time is slowing down, the birdie tweets, the clouds roll in, the fluids speak
You’re all I think about, but what did I say?
Beneath the whirling sky, the page won’t read, I stroke my skin, I fold and crease

I like to think you feel the same way as me
Waiting on and off, I’m in too deep, my arms begin to atrophy
I want to know you’re as desperate as me
That when I’m asleep you wait for me, the time goes by so endlessly

But what do I know?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
I’m burning up inside so watch me cry and watch me go
Panic through the window
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
I’m burning up inside so watch me cry and watch me go

I like to think I’m good at speaking my mind
But I’ve gone doubtful now, my legs are weak, the light falls down, I just can’t speak
This keeps me up at night, just what did I say?
The guilt is writhing on, under my skin, the hatred starts to push me in
