Not gonna tell you there's no cause for alarm

Your gut feelings are often not wrong

I'm just saying you should maybe pump the brakes

Making choices out of haste, not considering the stakes

Oh, if you try to make a move while you are very clearly compromised

And you jump the gun you're not allowed to be surprised

When the bullets that you fire cut you down to size

And scare the ones you love away so

Take a breath before you speak

So you don't wind up saying something you don't mean

When you Panic! Panic! Panic! makes it hard to function

(Panic! Panic! Panic!)

No, it won't do much good

Running around and feeding in to all the lies you tell yourself

Panic! Panic Panic!

Don't Panic! Panic! Panic!

Panic! Panic! Panic!

(YOUR BRAIN)

Might be productive for a minute or two,

Then in the next one decide to ruin your day

(YOUR BRAIN)

Makes perfect sense of all the things it has to do

But still gets in its own way

(YOUR BRAIN)

Knows how to psych you out

Effectively better than any scary movie that's ever been made

(YOUR BRAIN)

Will not play nice, it will take the darkest side

You should take your own advice when it's time to be decisive you should

Take a breath before you act

Make sure you don't do anything you can't take back

When you Panic! Panic! Panic! makes it hard to function

(Panic! Panic! Panic!)

No it won't do much good

Running around and feeding in to all the lies you tell yourself

When you Panic! Panic! Panic! it doesn't solve the problem

(Panic! Panic!)

Put your energy somewhere else

Don't live in fear, calm down, keep looking up

Things will get better

Take a breath before you speak

(Breath in, breathe out)

When you Panic! Panic! Panic! it makes hard to function

(Panic! Panic! Panic!)

No it won't do much good

Running around and feeding into all the lies you tell yourself

When you Panic! Panic! Panic! it doesn't solve the problem

(Panic! Panic!)

Put your energy somewhere else

Don't live in fear, calm down, keep looking up

Things get better

Don't Panic! Panic! Panic!

Don't Panic! Panic! Panic!

Things get better

Don't Panic! Panic! Panic!
