fear allows one to move but when one's petrified the nervous system triggers a freeze response muscles tense pressure rise and the brain paralyzes voluntary movement stuck in a stone state the mind can't escape being petrified in survival mode fight flight or freeze moment impossible reduce blood speed to 2G circulation numb feeling none blend into environment a slab of concrete danger alert don't panic it's traumatic trauma in real time no main character it's real life lockdown in a created sensation of being gone what it feels like to be stoned rather be stoned than to be stoned cast the first verse he who cast the first one want be the one who cast the last to cut the glass it's a chain unlock the clasps let me gasp she told me she love me she don't know what she saying she need to quit playing I close my eyes I'm petrified
