Prism of Fear

One dream and one more life I’ll be dying two more times One lie and one more sin But I’ll be paying until I’m nothing I shake hands with my fear once more It gives me my freedom of thought Then I hide as the sun comes around My freedom tells me to go underground One thought and one more stand One thousand reasons to lie in the sand One tear as I take my place I summon water and the sand is erased I dive down because my fear is scared Underwater where everything is heard I hear a message but I’m out of breath I reach for the surface and I question its worth One more question to write on my walls A million questions, I can’t answer them all I break them down with what I believe The remaining question is will it deceive One more reason to never begin But still I die and have to give in The fear is too perfect and can never release The freedom I have is only disease The words that I scream can only say please
