Dream Theater - Panic Attack lyrics

Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci

All wound up

On the edge

Terrified

Sleep disturbed

Restless 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

Possessed by anxiety

Run

Try to hide

Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
