talking fear

i'd like to talk to you about fear it's one of those words that no one wants to hear 'cause fear can move you or freeze you in place and once you've had it you'll never forget the taste it's not the fear or physical pain it's when you have to say of course i'm sane it's the fear of waiting for phones that don't ring no hope no god no answermachine it's when you think man i've got to get out i think you know what i'm talkin' about it's the fear of lies wrapped in smiles behind your lovers eyes stand it ties my hands it's locked my door it gags my mouth i can't breath anymore RIGHT, DRAGGING ME DOWN AGAIN it's the fear of growing old alone when you finally recognize that you're on your own the fear of looking for comfort but there is no one there and you ask yourself does anybody care? the fear of ignorance of sensless hate the fear of i want it now but i'll have to wait fear of failure of loss fear of god security and how much that cost i stand outside i don't dare come in it's a test of nerves and i know i can't win RIGHT, DRAGGING ME DOWN AGAIN fear of death a thousand ways to die fear of life and the question why fear of what makes you look your doors at night fear of running when you know you should fight fear of the thruth when you think you've found it fear of time i just can't get around it fear of not really knowin' yourself the fear of echoes for answer when you ask for help crush my conscious break my will bleed my patience an easy kill RIGHT
