Step Into Me

Step inside my nightmare Greet the horror that lurks within Come look in the eye of loathing Observe the war I can never win I must suffocate a sickness Overpower and obliterate an ill I have to pound it into nothingness Let the devil have his fill Still it thrives in the turmoil Continues to live and breathe Fights back with cruel vengeance And like an angry ocean, seethes I meld into its darkness I turn my face from the prying sun Try to temper the inner emptiness Fight the urge to run Step inside my prison Slip through the open door Come hear desperation wailing Open your ears to its unearthly roar I need to silence its shrill vibrato Quieten its bitter song I have to erase its caustic chorus Prevent it preaching to the throng But it won't be hushed And it won't be made still It soars ever louder Echoing around me with renewed will Chains can no longer contain it It demands to be set free It wants out of the cloying darkness All I have to do is be me Step inside my secret. Break down its invisible wall Here dare you acknowledge and accept me Can you allow me to stumble but not to fall Will you help chase away the bad dreams Stand up to the faceless foe Will you continue to walk beside Tread the path many will fear to go Will you usher in the daylight Bathe me in the warmth of the sun Will you turn away the cold night When this long day is done Could you one day forgive Could you help set me free And will you please, please Never stop loving me Step inside my soul Through the door thrown open wide Gone the rage and ugliness Borne away on an ebbing tide. Still now the ocean The calm after the storm Dawn has banished the shadows Light and life reborn Step into my heart Tell me what do you see Now only what is real What now is truly me. It's open now and searching It's reaching out to you, It's softly sings your name It's voice forever true So if you think you could love me Step into me
