Fear Is My Follower

I'm going off at the deep end
Falling without any wings
Powerless to turn this tide
A peasant in face of kings

I can't change my fate at all
It's been taken from my hands
Hanging my head, I pray for better
As I cross the burning sands

Left alone with my thoughts
They echo loudly in my mind
Clamouring for first attention
I feel I'm going blind

My body trembles with the effort
Of holding myself together
A thousand cracks in my facade
Shattered and splintered forever

Heart pumping, adrenaline building
Something is chasing my dreams
Haunting my every waking moment
Till nothing is as it seems

I'm a solitary figure on a bed of snow
Around me all looks the same
I'm lost at sea with no life vest
Trapped in some dangerous game

An explorer in a strange world corner
Alone and fit to die
Lashing out at my attacker
Desperately asking why

Harrowing emptiness invades
Soaking through my skin
I'm fighting an invisible force
Knowing I'll never win

Pursued across the ocean depths
And under the duvet cover
Fear is my constant companion
My torturer, my lover

It caresses me tenderly
Sends shivers down my spine
Hijacking my imagination
Whispering "you're mine..."
