Letra Panic Annie Hamilton

Panic

I wrote 'panic' one night last year in an attempt to channel my anxiety into creativity - to let it push me in a different direction or to dive a little deeper than i otherwise would've gone. it feels very weird to be going about business as usual and releasing/promoting a new song in such a surreal and uncertain time, but in these last few weeks of distance and isolation i have found myself turning to music and art more than ever. panic is out everywhere now ~ i hope you like it x
lyrics
for weeks i looked behind me
in darkest hours i’d leave the light on
couldn’t see much out but you’d see in

i hoped you’d try to find me
i played for you, but seconds in you tossed me
like a gull tossed in the wind

and i can feel the panic setting in
and i can feel the panic setting in

now i can’t read your writing
but i like the way it looks across the pages of your books
and i can hear it
like a record spinning around the corners of my mind
like a self-portrait from a time when you see in

in darkest hours i’d leave the light on
i can feel the panic setting in
in darkest hours i’d leave the light on
i can feel the panic setting in
for weeks you’ve been beside me
i feel you crashing over me
like waves upon the stones at sea
you ruin me like the tide erodes the island
my sheerest cliffs are crumbling down
the deepest seas surrounding all my skin

can i make this any easier for you?
like constant white of clouded sky sometimes i could just disappear entirely
i’m heavyweight desperate now
is everything i’m doing just for you?
would i do anything for you?

could i make this more convenient for you?
like constant white of clouded sky sometimes i could just disappear entirely
i’m heavyweight desperate now
is everything i’m doing just for you?
i’ll do anything for you

i’ll do anything for you
i’ll do anything
