Testo di Fear Itself

Unconditional surrender to illusionary forces Unavoidable terror strikes directly at the heart Totally illogical No apparent reason Retreat to safety in solitude A man afraid to live Away from misunderstanding eyes Eyes that do not see inside Prying and perplexed Cannot see the terror hidden by the flesh It comes again It always finds Debilitating fear itself Leaves him worthless on the floor A man afraid to die Peace will come now and again A calm that feels so wrong Silence of the pounding pulse Nothing left but waiting Waiting Waiting When will it return? It comes again It always finds Debilitating fear itself Leaves him worthless on the floor A man afraid to live Finding no comfort within his skin Convulsing with every heartbeat The world becomes smaller Friends become fewer The enemy's within Gripping fast upon the heart Tenaciously piercing Retreat to safety in solitude A man afraid to live Peace will come now and again A calm that feels so wrong Silence of the pounding pulse Is it gone for good?
