Fear Street

We can run from it, if we try We can hide from it, so we think But it’s right here in us, weaving its web Right inside lurking, at our every move Beating like a second heart, becoming one with our being Has its own remote start, as if it begins to control our every step every action, awaiting reaction We try to fight it, yet sometimes bask in its comforts Think we are bright in its light With just and might we hold up its swords No denying our inner thoughts in delight How strong it beats in defeats How forceful it fights against good not evil Yet subtly attacks our subconscious It can be deafening Yet, longing for freedom Justify its place in our core Hold a shield to its space Such a disgrace to give it face Let it go Set if free Let it be Just a you Just a me It cripples one so much When power is given and it overtakes Power, give it no more As any other dirty bore We will make more mistakes That is what life is all about For in certainty there will be some bouts Rest assure you are no longer welcome anymore How lovely a thought How freeing of the mind Leaving a trace of it behind No room no more As is it just harbored my function So glad to leave it at the last junction You play many as a tool Suck us in your game Time to tame The fool That is you Release you Once and for all Mightier One can grow tall Fear.
