lyrics

Panic Life

Playing out the day that hasn't come yet
Before it’s had a chance I'm full of regret
It's an anticipated affair
It's a panic life lived on a dare

Set the clocks running but I'll beat that race
Close the gap and cut the space
It's an anticipated affair
It's a panic life lived on a dare

Stoke the fire, burn the ire
Keep the tindered blast
Pioneering, so revealing
Of a pace long past

Imagining the curse, see the scenic lot
Cinematic angst fuels the fated plot
It's an anticipated affair
It's a panic life lived on a dare

See the train coming before its turns the bend
Binded wrists too taut to the end
It's an anticipated affair
It's a panic life lived on a dare

Stoke the fire...

Ooh ooh
Settle right down

It’s a panic life lived on a dare
