Lyrics
Panic Attack
[Instrumental Intro]
[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]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[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
[Verse 4]
A stifling surge shooting through all my veins
Extreme apprehension, suddenly I'm insane
