Fear

You float in a million lights
But the one you seek is not there
You fight in a million fights
But it's yourself you cannot bear

You think you are a leader
But you turn everyone away
You think you are a preacher
But you can't turn night into day

Well there is something inside of me
And I know that it's growing
Well the thing that will forever be
And I feel its shadow calling

It is the fear that drives you mad
It is the fear that makes you blind
It is the fear that keeps you sad
It is the fear that kills your mind

You think you can make things grow
But in truth you are like a desert
You think it's not your ego
And that others make you hurt

You have learned how to deceive
And yourself is all you can hear
You think you really believe
But deep down you are only fear

There is something inside of me
That makes me run against the wall
The thing my eyes don't want to see
That will obliterate my soul

It is the fear that eats you up
It is the fear that makes you cry
It is the fear that takes you down
It is the fear that will not die

It is the fear that eats you up
It is the fear that makes you cry
It is the fear that takes you down
It is the fear that will not die

Everyone's afraid but that's no excuse
Everyone's afraid but that's no excuse
Everyone's afraid but that's no excuse
Everyone's afraid but that's no excuse
Everyone's afraid
