John Petrucci - Panic Attack lyrics

[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 I am paralyzed So afraid to die 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 2] 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 [Bridge] 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] [Bridge]
