Analysis of And Panic Takes Her Toll
Shadows of night
Now dance in sight
And panic takes her toll
Living a life
Of constant strife
Willing to sell our soul
Amateur plans
Written by hand
Fading hopes, fading joy
With golden dreams
Of money schemes
We Play life, as a toy
Making our plans
Footprints in sand
Every tide brings change
We hear we're not
Unless we've got
And so we rearrange
