My name is Fear


I'm the one they call fear

You can find me in the corners of your heart

I'm the one that seeks your tear

You will never get me out of your thought

I'm the hands that pull you back

Your sadness will complete my art

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

the voices inside your head I am 

the poison in your veins

I toy with your emotions 

I take pleasure in your pain

And now I'll make you

Just another falling angel

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

I made the cruel times you've been through

I made you think that you were strong

I make you wonder what to do

But now I feel like I was wrong...

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

the voices inside your head I am 

the poison in your veins

I toy with your emotions 

I take pleasure in your pain

And now I'll make you

Just another falling angel

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

I could be a friend, not an enemy

Its time I pay my debt you see

Fight and defeat your misery

stand up and watch me fall on my knee

I just want you to defeat me 

Stand and rise out of this dead sea

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

the voices inside your head I am 

the poison in your veins

I toy with your emotions 

I take pleasure in your pain

And now I see you

You could be my rising angel
