Fear!

Fear that lives in my heart for the rest of my life, emptiness of all that is, illusion of being alive

I have seen the fires of hell, felt them under my skin

Hollow is the truth in this lie we're living in

The horror, the nothing, the sights erasing my soul, judgement, the truth through this eye I cannot close

Fear...

It all starts up with a pressure on my chest, the air sucked out of my lungs, physical symptoms just a rapid countdown to the small death yet to come

A violent chasm takes me down to the depths so cold

Here I have nothing, nothing for comfort; here I have no soul

And I see...

It's strangling me; it kills the hope within, feeds death to my brain

If I could, I gladly would end my life just to end this pain

I cannot move

My eyes laid on something I cannot escape from...

Inside this human shell, madness kicks in...

I see

When the sights are seen and I'm just an empty shell, I try to gather my breath, knowing that I've just been in hell, living in fear the rest of my life, trying to forget what I've seen

And the merciless eye made a part of me die, closed for now, still there somehow...

...until it opens again
