Attack

I going down, insane velocities have me on edge
My heart is racing, I'm under the knife, I'm on the ledge
Pure terror runs right beneath my skin
I can see it like worms working on nerves worn paper thin

I'm drowning now, what the hell do I do
I have nowhere to run, the alarm is coursing through
Where this fright comes from I cannot define
I just know it torments me slithering up and down my spine

My breathing is ragged now, my lungs pierced by fear
Freezing shivs penetrate my chest, restricting me in this suffocating sphere
Constricted so tightly I can't breathe in or out
I want to scream so loudly but inward stays the shout

Ears scream with a rising tide of noise
Every sound raises to an unbearable peak till my eardrums break like childrens toys
Screams of everyday sounds wash over me in waves
Chaos assaults my thought until my mind feels like its going to cave

Tremors tear through my flesh rattling my rib cage
Shattering my bone deep within trepidation does rage
Shaking me so hard and violently I think I'm going to break
Leaving all my nerves demolished and crumbling in its wake

Then almost as quickly as it came this fear subsides
Leaving me sweating and still shaking after jettisoning down this hellish slide
Insane was this trip of a horror so clearly unprovoked
I never even seen it coming until it had me strangled and choked

Please let this be the last attack
