Dream Theater - Octavarium (U.S. Version)

Panic Attack

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

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

Run, try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
