Fear's Hostage

Paralyzing uncertainty Of the things not seen Shadows of unknown origins That invade our very dreams Sometimes, it's the sounds That go bump in the night It hijacks our minds And fills us with fright Imaginations run wild As we shiver and shake Our voice has betrayed us Not a sound can we make Our eyes closed so tightly As we cover our head For fear of the monster That lives under our bed Imaginary footsteps Keeps time with our heart As their beats intertwine Like two lovers apart The things in our closet Scares us the most It's filled with our nightmares Of goblins and ghosts The shadows start fading As the sun starts to rise The darkness is gone And we open our eyes The room is now void Of nighttime's intrusion This, that held us hostage, Was just an illusion
