Imperative Reaction

Panic Cycle:

The room is spinning upside down

No air to make a sound

There is nothing I can do

It's searing touch upon my skin

Let's me know it will begin

I'm in its hands now

It's pulling tighter on the noose

Pumping concrete through my veins

No way to get out of these fucking chains

But giving in just makes it worse

No way to reverse this pain

I'm in the panic cycle

Pulled out too far from the shore

And I'm drowning again

The noise is ringing in my ears

Lying paralyzed by fear

There is nothing I can do

Its sharpened claws digging in

Tearing through me once again

Unable to fight it

It's pulling tighter on the noose

Pumping concrete through my veins

No way to get out of these fucking chains

But giving in just makes it worse

No way to reverse this pain

I'm pretty sure it's just a panic attack. It pretty much lines up with how it feels for me, at least.

Good piece. Besides drug dependency could be guilt over a murder among numerous situations where one could be in a state of panic.

Nice! This album just crossed another stepping stone and made IR that much better than the previous albums. Love these guys being that there from LA. Love the use of rapid sound in some of the songs. This song being one of them. Powerful sound and the lyrics convey much of the same. Good job fellas.
