    Stress, panic and anger make up the main themes of this song. The consequences when you feel any one of them is revealed, as well as the nightmare that occurs when all three are combined.

    Lyrics
    I've got a knack for fucking everything up
    My temper flies and I get myself all wound up
    My fuse is short and my blood pressure is high
    I lose control and I get myself all wound up
    Tension mounts and I fly off the wall
    I self-destruct and I get myself all wound up
    Petulance and irritation sets in
    I throw a tantrum and I get myself all up
    Chip on my shoulder and a leech on my back
    Stuck in a rut and I get myself all wound up
    Killed my composure and it will never come back
    Loss of control and I get myself all wound up
    Blown out of proportion again
    My temper snaps and I get myself all wound up
    Spontaneous combustion
    Panic attack
    I slipped a gear I get myself all wound up
