A Deep Slow Panic

I watched you go out the door
With poise I’d not seen before
I saw you shine, you shine
I collapsed to the floor
It promised it missed me more
And said: True love, is mine
I missed you
Did you miss me?

Slowly, it’s consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can’t take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me not to dream
Dream deeply

I haven’t left here for days
My panic keeps me awake
As he unwinds, inside
He told me I should have known
That he hated the way I’d grown
To love soft lies
She lied
Do you miss her?
Like I missed you?

Slowly, it’s consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can’t take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me not to dream
Dream deeply

Slowly, it’s consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can’t take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me not to dream
Dream deeply

Slowly, I’ll swallow your fears
For all of those years
How could you let them consume me?
Teach me, teach me how you sleep
So sweetly

Slowly, it’s consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can’t take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me how you sleep
So sweetly
