How can fear have such an effect on the human soul?
How can it bind us in some inhuman control?
It can ruin your life in a single handshake.
While inside there's a massive earthquake.
For it ruined my dream for inner sanctity
by the fear of my ultimate possibility.
Left me to feel frightened by companionship
and away I went and let her slip
without a regret back then.
For which now I consider a sin.
For how can you not see what's under your feet
and bow your head as in utter defeat?
Fear, Fear, my slayer of happiness.
Fear, my friend in crappiness.
The one who turns me pale.
The one who succeeds when I fail.
The chuckle on the other cheek.
The ultimate controller of the meek.
The one who's really in control.
The one who always knows it's role.
