Run out of fear

Fog rolls in… Breath gets thin… You hear that? That’s not wind… Down… down… down… down… Bodies in the fog don’t make a sound… Down… down… down… down… Welcome to my side of town… If I run out of fear, I won’t— What the hell you gonna do if I don’t? If I run out of fear, I won’t— What the hell you gonna do if I don’t? Down… down… down… down… That’s what keeps you here… Fog creepin’, slow steps, no sound, Moon up, that’s when I come around Shadows move when I breathe in deep, Whole damn city got ghosts that speak Priest tried blessin’ what I became, Still got blood in a holy name Church doors crack when I pass through, Even God don’t ask what I do Morgue talk back but I don’t reply, Dead stay dead when they meet my eyes You call it horror, I call it truth— This what happens when love don’t root Run… run… run… run… You won’t make it out… Run… run… run… run… You won’t make it out… Fear… fear… fill your chest… That’s the part I like the best… If I run out of fear, I won’t— What the hell you gonna do if I don’t? If I run out of fear, I won’t— What the hell you gonna do if I don’t? Down… down… down… down… That’s what keeps you here… Decades deep in the same cold mist, Every name on my list don’t exist Walls write back when I pass through halls, Red ink drip where the silence calls You can pray, you can run, you can hide, Still feel somethin’ walkin’ inside Voices stuck in my teeth when I speak, Turn nightmares into somethin’ you keep I don’t chase, I let fear come close, That’s when I do what I do the most You brought light? That won’t help you here— Light dies quick when it meets this fear Heartbeat knockin’ like a door won’t close, Footsteps echo where nobody goes Cold air draggin’ through a broken lung, Every word sound half-unsung Shadows stretch when the lights go dead, Something walkin’ where you just fled You don’t see me, but I see you clear— I don’t chase… I just wait for fear Closer… closer… don’t turn ‘round… Feel that pressure? That’s me now… Closer… closer… breath goes thin… You don’t know what you’re standin’ in… If I run out of fear, I won’t— What the hell you gonna do if I don’t? If I run out of fear, I won’t— What the hell you gonna do if I don’t? Down… down… down… down… You were never alone… You just didn’t know… Still here… Still close… Every shadow you see… That’s me… Jinx.
