[Intro] You hear it, don’t you? Can you feel it breathing through the cracks? I can’t shut it out, I can’t shut it out! smacking my head pretending not to hear! I can't! I can't! I don't want to; let me out, let me out. [Verse 1] “Something’s crawling in my head.” “Get out,” I said. “Get out, get out, GET OUT! Static drips, white noise crackles in my ears, and blurry vision is behind my eyes, and it laughs when I try to scream and shout. The other side of my mind says, BE QUIET. [Verse 2] Scratching the lining of my mind, the walls made of my thoughts, I can taste the fear like rust. Copper blood on my tongue from biting so hard, trying to conceal the demonic thoughts. Twitching hands, shaking bones, every heartbeat breaks my trust. [Pre-Chorus] It’s whispering… IT’S WHISPERING MY NAME! Tap, tap, tap on my dome. on the center of my forehead! Stop pretending, let me in, and then let me out. It's time to run wild. [Chorus] Fear itself, it’s my disease. Eats my nerves, signals crossed, being dragged with broken knees. Can’t escape the thing I let in, Buried deep, now I’m its slave. Trying to lock it away, I’m not scared of what I see; I’m scared of what’s left in me! [Verse 3] Pulse is pounding, tick tick tick! Pressure rising, falling to my knees! About to burst, gotta let it out. Tension is chewing through my spine. Every second feels like tar clogging my thoughts. Every bit of rage is all mine. [Bridge] Voices twist, speech is fragmented, and they start to sing beautiful songs that make me choke. And I laugh while I’m decaying, because it’s the only joke I know. Born through misery, YOU led to fear, raising me. [Breakdown] You can’t run, YOU CAN’T RUN FROM YOURSELF! You can’t hide, WHEN YOU’RE LIVING IN HELL! Never outrunning what you don't want to escape, adrenaline pumping through my veins seeking the rush, smothering the pain. Rage loosens the grip. trying not to let the fear in. afraid of myself. [Chorus] Fear… is… feeding… Fear… is… breathing! endless cycle repeating! It rides the waves of my inner veins, gliding along my bloody veins! Trapped, I consume under my skin. Fuck off, you demented bitch! Fine, don't get out. I consume all of me. I AM FEAR, AND FEAR IS ME! [Chorus-Reprise] Fear itself, it’s my disease. Eats my nerves, signals crossed, being dragged with broken knees. Can’t escape the thing I let in, Buried deep, now I’m its slave. Trying to lock it away, I’m not scared of what I see; I’m scared of what’s left in me! [Outro] Still breathing… Still feeding… Still… me. Fading, fading, voices calming! For the moment, I seek rest until this starts all over again. never-ending hell I'm trapped in.
