The Crush of Panic

They throw their arms around me.
I still don't know how they found me.
Always been haunting me this way.
So I've been waiting here all day,
To finally surrender.
They say the choice I make is mine,
But I don't know.
Cause I don't even notice anymore.
And it gets easier each time,
And I don't know if it even matters.
Once again, I'll settle for tomorrow,
While the chance I'm being what I want gets smaller every day.
There's an assembly line to follow.
Where instead of life, we'll buy the things we'd like to do and say.
Now their embrace it tends to strangle
As they advance from every angle.
The crush of panic as everyone
Is realizing what we've done.
They say the choice I make is mine,
But I don't know.
Cause I don't even notice anymore.
And it gets easier each time,
And I don't know if it even matters.
Once again, I'll settle for tomorrow,
While the chance I'm being what I want gets smaller every day.
There's an assembly line to follow.
Where instead of life,
We'll buy the things we'd like to do and say.
And the price it just gets higher
As we accept that we're on fire,
And the good things fade away.
And the good things fade away.
