The Fear

It comes in the night it comes in the day No matter where I go I'll never get away A serpent wrapped around my neck Slowly squeezing the life from my chest Gasping for breath, gasping for air Needing to run but not knowing where The stench of the sweat it fills the room I think that I am being consumed by the fear Being consumed by the fear The heat is rising I can't get away For the life that I've lived there will be hell to pay Here comes the terror filling my being My vision blurs why can't I see Something withering flailing inside It needs to get out I need to die I need to escape get out of this tomb Why am I always being consumed by the fear Being consumed by the fear It's eating me up, I've had enough It's tit for tat, we're not coming back
