Disciple's 'Panic Room' featuring Andrew Schwab is a raw, intense rock song that explores the inner turmoil of anxiety, guilt, and self-doubt. The lyrics describe trying to bury dark thoughts and fears, but they keep resurfacing, trapping the narrator in a mental 'panic room.' The song acknowledges shared human brokenness and the struggle to escape cycles of gloom and guilt. While it doesn't explicitly mention God or faith, the themes of feeling trapped and seeking escape resonate with Christian listeners who understand the need for deliverance and peace. The song's honest portrayal of mental struggle can be a starting point for conversations about finding hope and healing in Christ.

I want to play by my own rules
I want the courage of a fool
I want to push my luck not pull a punch
When I lose it all play it cool
I want to steal the emperor's throne
I want a kingdom for my own
I want a castle where I only care to get rich and die alone
Sometimes I scare myself, sometimes I scare myself
Sometimes I scare myself, sometimes I scare myself
I try to lock these thoughts inside a tomb
But it ends up being my panic room
When the demons start digging up skeletons
The ghosts leave me with nowhere to run
Hide me away
Throw away the key
Just another day in the panic
Just another day in the panic
Just another day in the panic room
I want to unlearn what I've learned
I want to scratch until it burns
I want to DJ my own funeral to watch the tables turn
If I was to catch a rare disease
Something to bring me sympathy
No one could blame me if I made a wish for immortality
Sometimes I scare myself, sometimes I scare myself
I try to lock these thoughts inside a tomb
But it ends up being my panic room
When the demons start digging up skeletons
The ghosts leave me with nowhere to run
Hide me away
Throw away the key
Just another day in the panic
Just another day in the panic
Just another day in the panic room
I know you're just the same as me
We have a shared insanity
I want to be the hidden camera in your deepest darkest dreams
I wish I could hide from all this filth
Look at the walls of sand I've built
Wish I could turn my back stop getting trapped
In this cycle of gloom and guilt
(Sometimes I scare myself)
I try to lock these thoughts inside a tomb
But it ends up being my panic room
When the demons start digging up skeletons
The ghosts leave me with nowhere to run
Hide me away
Throw away the key
Just another day in the panic
Just another day in the panic
Just another day in the panic room
