Panic Picnic

The sun is shining, but my heart’s in a storm
Blanket’s laid out, but I’m feeling all torn
People are laughing, the sky’s so clear
But the panic inside is drawing near

I’m smiling wide, but the cracks are showing
A feast for the mind, but my fear’s still growing

It’s a panic picnic, under the blue
Where the laughter fades, and the shadows grew
A perfect day that’s breaking apart
I’m falling down while they dance in the park
Panic picnic, and I can’t escape
The grass beneath me, but I’m wide awake

The world’s in motion, but I’m standing still
A quiet chaos that I can’t quite kill
They’re passing the basket, I fake a bite
But inside I’m losing the will to fight

I’m hiding here, beneath the sun’s glare
But the panic whispers: You’re caught in a snare

It’s a panic picnic, under the blue
Where the joy fades out, and the fears break through
A beautiful day that’s slipping away
While my mind’s on fire, and my heart won’t stay
Panic picnic, trapped in the light
I’m fighting for air, but I’m losing the fight

Can’t they see it, the cracks in my smile?
Can’t they feel it, the fear all the while?
The perfect scene, it’s a dream gone wrong
A picnic of panic where I don’t belong

It’s a panic picnic, under the blue
Where the happiness fades, and the dread is true
A picture-perfect lie I can’t maintain
I’m screaming inside, but it’s all in vain
Panic picnic, the sun burns bright
But the storm’s in me, and I’ve lost the fight

Panic picnic, where I pretend
But I’m drowning here in the chaos within
Panic picnic, I’m fading away
In this garden of fears where I can’t stay
