Lyrics:

If you knew I looked like a beast
If I showed you I was cruel
If I said I feed on your soul
Would you carry me around?
If you knew I weigh you down
Loathe yourself and freeze and drown
If you knew I’m your unseen high,
But I’ve taken your will, your life

But I help you wear a mask
And I hide you from your pain
I’ve saved this wall you’ve built
To hold at bay all your guilt
We now sleep in a cold embrace and wake up together, facing the day
When your heart pounds, I’m there
When you’re calm, I’m around the corner
You’re under the spell I’ve cast
The only steadfast friend you’ve got

I’m in all that’s close to you
All your deepest, dark desires
Fight me or ignore me
But, don’t you see you’re stuck with me?
I’m the reason you never face
The sink of grime that lays beneath
With a score of regrets and spite
I’m behind your rage and fight
I’m in all that’s felt, unfelt
I’m in all you make and kill
In your weakness you don’t see
But days find you alone with me

Open your eyes and look at me
Take your power, so we could be free
And if you let those curtains drop
There is nothing that I can stop
We now sleep in a cold embrace and wake up together, facing the day
When your heart pounds, I’m there
When you’re calm, I’m around the corner
You’re under the spell I’ve cast
I’m Fear the only friend you’ve got
