[Intro – phone sample, close and uncomfortable] “Hello? Are you there? You don’t sound okay… Just breathe, alright?

You’re spiraling again. Just sit down. Can you hear me?” [Pre Chorus – rising, breathy, urgent] I try to listen but the noise is louder (louder) Thoughts stack up like a falling tower (falling) Every second feels like too much (too much) I’m losing control and I hate this rush (hate this rush) [Chorus – repeat, more intensity] Panic in my room, walls closing in (yeah) Heart too loud, can’t calm my skin (ohh) I’m pacing circles, I don’t know when (when) This feeling’s gonna let me live (let me live) Phone lights up but I don’t reply (nah) Try to breathe but I’m fucking dry (uhh) Locked inside my own damn head (my head) Panic in my room again (again) [Verse 2 – faster cadence, more explicit, unraveling] I sit on the floor like it’ll help somehow (somehow) Back to the wall, knees breaking down (breaking) Every breath feels borrowed now (borrowed) Like I’m not supposed to be calm (nah) I hate that I can’t explain this shit (explain) Hate that my body won’t listen (won’t listen) I know I’m safe, I know I’m home (I know) So why the fuck do I feel alone (alone) [Chorus – final, strained, almost shouted] Panic in my room, walls closing in (yeah) Heart too loud, can’t calm my skin (ohh) I’m pacing circles, I don’t know when (when) This feeling’s gonna let me live (let me live) Phone lights up but I don’t reply (nah) Try to breathe but I’m fucking dry (uhh) Locked inside my own damn head (my head) Panic in my room again (again) [Outro – phone sample fading, voice distant] “…it’s okay. I’m still here. Just keep breathing. I’m not hanging up.”
