What Fear Fed On

Fear The venom that rains Got you Drowning In the desert And a spirit Weak in brevity Strong but unbelieving That’s what fear fed on Fear fed on you Society cuts Flying wings As to drain The courageous soul Of its hope And then People die Rich with power Power they never used That’s what fear fed on Fear fed on you I see plain pain In your eyes Hurt laughing at you You’re afraid To ever love again Because your past Caused you wounds So you walk agape Running In a cold escape That’s what fear fed on Fear fed on you I see your dried tears Inscribed On your broken face But a determination You’ve been robbed of That’s what fear fed on Fear fed on you So will you Forever sulk Forever your conscience bulk In a pessimist bask? Or will you Your mantle take And fear forever shake For you live dead When fear drives your head That’s what fear fed on Fear fed on you
