Shadow of Fear

Shadow Of Fear It follows me where ever I go Nipping at my heels It torments my body Tortures my soul I know it hides in the light Coming out in the night The perfect disguise I face it down but I know I know that it knows me too well It knows my weaknesses It knows what the world is truly like It knows my feelings toward life The shadow of fear is immortal Haunting one and then another Hunting for the weakest of us all Yet it doesn't kill It watches as we lose our minds Terrified of even ourselves Even when we are suicidal just watches Pushing just one step further Not letting us turn away from the pain It takes me to the limit and beyond And it just laughs
