Panic Attack - Dream Theater

[Verse 1]

All wound up, on the edge, terrified

Sleep disturbed, restless mind, petrified

Bouts of fear permeate all I see

Heightening nervousness threatens me

[Bridge 1]

I am paralyzed

So afraid to die

[Verse 2]

Caught off guard, warning signs never show

Tension strikes, choking me, worries grow

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

Helpless hysteria

A false sense of urgency

Trapped in my phobia

Possessed by anxiety

Run, try to hide

Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

[Instrumental Break]

[Keyboard Solo]

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]

Helpless hysteria

A false sense of urgency

Trapped in my phobia

Possessed by anxiety

Run, try to hide

Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
