Preoccupations

Panic

From Ill at ease2025

Lyrics

Panic

Break the key off in the lock

And walk away to where

It feels safe in the pouring rain

And the feeling's gone, and the feeling's gone

Cut the tether from the dock

And float away to where

It feels free

In an endless sea

When the ceiling's gone

When the ceiling's gone

Let's hide behind the scenes

Agree to disagree

On how we got so far off of the tracks

I'll panic when you tell me to relax

My memories are incorrect

Connecting interrupted thoughts

I can't repeat today

I'm just injecting fallen angels' dust

Let's hide behind the scenes

Agree to disagree

On how we got so far off of the tracks

I'll panic when you tell me to relax

My memories are incorrect

Connecting interrupted thoughts

I can't repeat today

I'm just injecting fallen angels' dust

Sever the connection

But keep all the rusted wires

Twist them up

And attach two cups

We'll have the conversation

That we never had

Smash the glass out

Pull the walls down

Light it up in flames

And the combination

Of the blood and dust

Turns it into mud

Flowing in like waves

There doesn't seem to be

Redeeming qualities

We'll fade before we find out all of the facts

I can't remember how I got these scars

Degenerates and maniacs

Imaginary sneak attacks

Let's hide behind the scenes

Agree to disagree

On how we got so far off of the tracks

I'll panic when you tell me to relax

My memories are incorrect

Connecting interrupted thoughts

I can't repeat today

I'm just injecting fallen angels' dust

Preoccupations on Dork

Preoccupations announce new album 'Ill at Ease'

The Canadian post-punk quartet have also shared new single 'Focus'.

Preoccupations - New Material

Like a therapy session on a roller coaster.

Preoccupations - Preoccupations

Preoccupations always were too good to be marred by controversy.
