Panicked and Paralyzed Lyrics by Chris Acker

Odd, Ordinary and Otherwise

0

[Verse 1]
I'm at the laundromat folding the sleeves to my t-shirt's back
Watching that cycle spin, my socks look like fish jumping
Scrolling through Craigslist just wishing I had IBS
To qualify for a medical test and pay all my good friends back
[Chorus]
I, I get panicked and paralyzed
I got habitual perversions and manic aspirations
Just to get myself out of bed
Dig myself from the pillow and walk the sleep out of my head
[Verse 2]
Looking at the shower knobs, the cold handle is labelled hot
The light switch is outside the door, I find faces in the tile walls
I used to get blemishes on my skin
Look like someone sank a battleship
Now when they call me handsome, I don't wanna believe them
But you know that I try
[Chorus]
I get panicked and paralyzed
My hair line is losing real-estate
My forehead is expanding my face
I spend 5 minutes a day just pulling my hair from the drain
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I can get mad so fast and pulse defies reason
When I don't search for words to explain
And I wind up hurting someone
I look for a receiving end to place my frustrations
But because they start with me its the only place their gonna end
[Chorus]
I, I get panicked and paralyzed
And all of my thank-yous are for your understanding
Proceeding an apology
Was I ever really lucky or was it just others
Was it just others favors and sympathies
[Outro]
I'm gonna get so better, turn on like this
Not knowing how to say how I feel
Catch me honking at student drivers with my head on the wheel
Catch me honking at student drivers with my head on the wheel
