Air feels borrowed. I know this feeling. It never asks permission. [Verse 1] My vision narrows into symptoms every breath feels manually done I monitor my own existence like something already went wrong My body sounds the evacuation without a visible threat I’m not afraid of dying here I’m afraid I’ll never reconnect [Pre-Chorus] My hands don’t feel attached to me my name feels out of place I’m watching panic load itself in the silence before it breaks [Chorus] This is claustrophobia without walls no corners, no escape My fear doesn’t need a reason it just needs my pulse to race I’m locked inside a moment that refuses to end Tell me how to calm my mind when my body won’t pretend [Verse 2] Breathing turns into instructions inhale, exhale, don’t forget I dissociate mid-survival placing bets I never meant Every sound feels weaponized every face feels staged I’m acting normal in public while my nervous system caves [Breakdown] THIS IS A PANIC ATTACK NOT A THOUGHT NOT A FEAR NOT A PAST MY BODY HIT THE SWITCH AND LEFT ME HERE TO NAME THE DAMAGE AFTER IT PASSED [Chorus] This is claustrophobia without walls my heartbeat sets the pace I don’t trust the floor beneath me or the calm on my face I don’t need motivation I don’t need control I need my nervous system to let me go [Instrumental Break] Slow bending notes, minor scale Echoing, crying lead guitar Builds tension, then briefly releases Feels like panic peaking — then collapsing inward [Bridge] Time stretches into static seconds melt and fold I negotiate with my heartbeat like it might do what it’s told If this ends, it won’t explain itself it never stays to speak It just leaves me cataloging what it took from me [Final Chorus] This is claustrophobia without walls and I know every step In case my legs forget their function like they often forget I’m not weak I’m not lost I’m surviving a war with no visible cost [Outro] It’s over now. That’s what they say. My body is still checking the exits.
