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.
There is something inside of me,
And I know that it's growing.
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.
Everone's afraid, but that's no excuse.
