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 thats 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 the lays beneath With a score of regrets and spite I’m behind your rage and fight
I’m in all thats 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
