Fear

I am nothing. I am dark
I will linger in your heart
Cross your heart I hope you die
I’ll stick a needle in your eye

When you wake up what do you see?
Look into the dark you will see me
You will see but bloody red
With a face but no head

You will fulfill my every need
I am full of quenching greed
Hear that whisper in the dark?
It could make the dead dogs bark

Hear me stomping up the stairs?
As you scream and pull your hair
Hear those awful screaming sounds?
Made the living all fall down

The monster in the closet, is it just a lie?
Some people swear they’ve heard a horrifying cry
True the monster is not real, some blue and hairy thing
I’m in that closet deep and dark, I’ll make you want to scream

No batman will not save you, nor superman in time
You’ll suffer till your time has come, then you will be mine
You’ll hear me walking up the stairs, and through your bedroom door
You’ll see my shadow through the dark; your joy will be no more

You hold your teddy close and near;
The only thing that you endear
Only to realise, when you turn around
That instead of a smile, it wears but a frown

Don’t you see I’m everywhere? I listen on the phone
Anything that you possess I have made my own
I seep into your walls; I seep into your mind.
Can’t you see I hold you in my everlasting bind?

You reach toward your bedroom light, try not to make a sound
I disappear behind you; you’ll try not to look around
I can sense the movement of your eyes shifting about
Are you scared of my existence? I don’t have a doubt

I am what is in your head
When you try to sleep in bed
I hear that desperate wish of death
It’ll be too long before you take your last breath

Your life will be in desperate sorrow
I’ll be here when you wake tomorrow
Don’t wait for it to pass today
Cause its just going to stay that way

You wake up and you scream
You realise it was all a dream
You look up and you see me there
This horrid face you cannot bear

I wait for you, where do you go
I’m deep inside, inside your soul
I’m the terrifying whisper in your ear
Who am I? I am fear.
