Fear
10-1991 Fear
Some days come up so lonely
The resistance is so slight
I might be disappearing
Amidst the crowds
I tiptoe and stretch
And look into the eyes
Of faces as they pass
Hear the buzzing
Sounds for the sake
Of hearing
I wonder
If their promises
Will ever come to pass
The silence within me
Screams to be heard
Yet not one word
Have I spoken
Reality deals some
Complicated hands to play
This one is rigged
I never wanted to sit in on the game
Anticipation mounts as I wait for the next move
The shadows seem to quiver
Tis only fear of failing

Some days come up so lonely
The resistance is so slight
I might be disappearing
Amidst the crowds
I tiptoe and stretch
And look into the eyes
Of faces as they pass
Hear the buzzing
Sounds for the sake
Of hearing
I wonder
If their promises
Will ever come to pass
The silence within me
Screams to be heard
Yet not one word
Have I spoken
Reality deals some
Complicated hands to play
This one is rigged
I never wanted to sit in on the game
Anticipation mounts as I wait for the next move
The shadows seem to quiver
Tis only fear of failing
