"Panic Attack" lyrics - DREAM THEATER

All wound up
On the edge
Terrified

Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified

Bouts of fear
Permeate
All i see

Heightening
Nervousness
Threatens me

I'm 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 o flight
I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight

Rapid heartbeat poundings 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 trough 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 be this fight or flight
I don't know why I'm constantly reeling

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

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

Helpless Hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
