Verse 1 The room feels smaller tonight. I swear the walls are moving. Slowly. Closer. Closer. There is nowhere left to breathe. My chest is tightening. My hands are shaking. I keep telling myself that I'm still here. But my body doesn't believe me. Verse 2 The ceiling feels too low. The air feels too heavy. Every sound is too loud. Every thought is screaming. My heart is beating like it is trying to escape me. I can't slow it down. I can't catch my breath. I don't know what is happening. I only know that something is terribly wrong. Pre-Chorus I press my hands against the walls. They're cold. But they feel closer than before. I look for somewhere to go. There is nowhere. Chorus I feel like these walls are crushing me. They're taking the air out of my lungs. I can't breathe. I can't think. I can't make it stop. I feel like I'm dying and nobody knows. I'm screaming for someone. I'm screaming as loud as I can. But no sound comes out. Verse 3 Tears are running down my face. I don't even remember crying. My vision starts to blur. My fingers won't stop trembling. I tell myself to calm down. Again. Again. Again. The room keeps getting smaller. My heartbeat keeps getting louder. And somewhere inside my head a voice keeps saying, "You can't do this anymore." Bridge I want to disappear from this moment. Not tomorrow. Not someday. Just from this room. From this feeling. From my own head. I open my mouth and scream. But there is nothing. Only silence. Chorus These walls are crushing me. I can feel them everywhere. Against my chest. Against my back. Inside my head. Everything is too much. The lights. The noise. My thoughts. My heartbeat. I am terrified that this is how I die. And I'm screaming. God, I'm screaming. But no sound comes out. Final Verse I slide down against the wall. My body is exhausted. My mind won't stop running. I cover my ears. I close my eyes. But the screaming is inside me. There is no door I can close against it. No place I can hide from myself. Chorus I don't want to feel this anymore. I don't want to be afraid of my own heartbeat. I don't want every breath to feel like the last one. I just want the walls to stop moving. I just want the noise to disappear. I keep trying to scream. I keep trying to breathe. But my voice is trapped somewhere inside my chest. And the only thing the room can hear is silence. Outro The walls are still there. The room is still there. I am still here. Shaking. Crying. Trying to breathe. And somewhere beneath the panic, I am still screaming. No sound comes out.
