[Verse 1]
C5
All wound up, on the edge, terrified
Ab5 G5 Bb5 C5
           Sleep disturbed, restless mind, petrified
Ab5 G5 Bb5 C5
           Bouts of fear permeate all I see
Ab5 G5 Bb5 C5
           Heightening nervousness threatens me
Ab5 G5 Bb5 Eb5
           I  am paralyzed
So afraid to die
C5
Caught off guard, warning signs never show
Ab5 G5 Bb5 C5
           Tension strikes, choking me, worries grow

  Why do I feel so numb?
Fm                   G#m                 C5
  Is it something to do with where I come  from?
Fm               G#m      C5
  Should this be fight or flight?
Fm                     G#m             C5
  I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight

C5
Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest
Eb5 Bb5 C5
        Agitated body in distress

        I feel like I'm in danger
Eb5 Bb5 C5
        Daily life is strangled by my stress
Eb5 Bb5  Eb5
       A stifling surge shooting through all my veins
Gb5 Db5   Eb5
       Extreme apprehension, suddenly I'm insane
Gb5 Db5 C5
        Lost all hope for redemption
Eb5 Bb5  C5
       A grave situation desperate at best

              [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

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

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
