A Deep Slow Panic - AFI

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’d miss 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 miss 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
