Dream Theater - Panic Attack Lyrics

All wound up 
On the edge 
Terrified 

Sleep disturbed 
Resteless mind 
Petrified 

Bouts of fear 
Permeate 
All I see 

Heightening 
Nervousness 
Threatens me 

I am paralyzed 
So afraid to die 

Caught off guard 
Warning signs 
Never show 

Tension strikes 
Choking me 
Worries grow 

Why do I feel so numb 
Is it something to do with where I come from 
Should this be fight or flight 
I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight 

Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest 
Agitated body in distress 
I feel like I'm in danger 
Daily life is strangled by my stress 

A stifling surge 
Shooting through all my veins 
Extreme apprehension 
Suddenly I'm insane 

Lost all hope for redemption 
A grave situation desperate at best 

Why do I feel so numb 
Is it something to do with where I come from 
Should this be fight or flight 
I don't know why I'm constantly reeling 

Helpless hysteria 
A false sense of urgency 
Trapped in my phobia 
Posessed by anxiety 

Run 
Try to hide 
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium 

Helpless hysteria 
A false sense of urgency 
Trapped in my phobia 
Posessed by anxiety 

Run 
Try to hide 
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
