Fear in the Darkness
Walking past my shadow in the complete dark
Hearing distant voices in the empty park
Glimpse gloomy figures that just don’t seem real
Listen to the echo of a scream I did not make
Are they watching me – my fears
Can they listen in- when I’m afraid
Do they know my each and every though
Their lack of substance seems so real – to me
Are those footsteps that I hear behind me
Are those your footprints in the misty snow
Did I see you’re your eyes glow red beside
The fearsome path I chose to hide behind
My breath comes faster now, in the cold night air
And my mind is playing tricks on me
Did I hear a whisper call my name just then
What the hell am I doing here
Past everything that makes good sense
No rational can overcome
There seems to be no turning back
The demons that my mind conjures
I know my mind’s what makes them real
I know they have no flesh and blood
But I just cannot make them stop
These fears that are consuming me tonight
