All wound up
On the edge
Terrified
Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified
Clouds of fear
Permeate
All I see
Heightening
Nervousness
Threatens me

I am paralyzed
So afraid to die

Cut of cord
Warning signs
Never show
Tension strikes
Jokingly
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
It's scream of revenge and suddenly I'm insane

No strong hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate it 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 feeling...

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

Run, try to hide
Overwhelmed by this
Conflicts delirium

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

Run, try to hide
Overwhelmed by this
Conflicts delirium
