Panic Lyrics

Seems to be a song about a paraplegic (or someone of that nature) who wants to kill himself or be euthanized. Not exactly a pleasant thought... And I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't agree with this "message," but I think the more important thing is to realize the extreme distress a person in that situation would feel.

I got this clot that says That I can't do a thing, A blood clot in the brain that has resulted in a paralyzing stroke, for example.

And it kills me that What I love I can't do, It kills me. Is smashed up, My life is smashed up, Lamentation of the fact that a debilitating disability prevents one from living like a "normal" person, and feeling as if one's life has been destroyed by the condition.

And I know it's right, And I feel it's time to kill. Belief and even certainty that it would be right to end one's life under these conditions. Belief that dying is preferable to suffering for life.

I'm in panic 'cause I can't breathe... Imagine being unable to breathe by yourself, unable to even more your body, relying on a machine to pump your lungs to keep you alive. Of course that is panic inducing.
