Dream Theater - Panic Attack + Lyrics

EDIT: Woah when did this video get popular?! Thank you guys so much for the views, but its Dream Theater you should be thanking for the awesome music!

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

Actually some songs are harder in rock band than in reality (I play real guitar)

[supimdanii]

can i just say this song is a perfect fucking description of a panic attack and yeah i have refreshed my love for dream theater ever since i was diagnosed with panic disorder.

[Noam Rawlings]

play this on drums and then we will see who is the pussy... ;)

[Nathan Explosion]

It's pretty easy on hard... expert is atricky one though

[luke shabs]

I understand, but my point was that if anything Muse is a Dream Theater tribute band and not the other way around.

[Zack Morse]

I've seen Mike Portnoy drumming DVD's where he pays homage to Muse. I think it's a mutual admiration thing going on. And they're both influenced by a lot of the same bands. And, DT, like Rush, as I once heard Geddy Lee describe them, act as a "sponge" absorbing what's around them & "squeezing it out" in their own form. Good musicians listen to other musicians - much like Mike told me they listened to "III Sides To Every Story" and the live Kansas CD between I&W & Awake; Definite influences.

[DrunkenWolf96]

You would need a 6 string bass to play this... The guitar ain't that bad for it... If you haven't been playing guitar for a while it would be fuckin hard though...

[Jordan Triggs]

Tell me about it, man. That key change at 4:38? Forget it.

This band was formed before Muse. Don't get me wrong - I love Muse. But this band is much more talented and Muse have actually listen Dream Theater as one of their influences.

[Tommy Wiseau]

Muse tribute band?

[Jack Hooper]

Yeah, I thought it sounded kind of Musey.
