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
