Fear Lyrics

Man's greatest fear is fear of the unknown

Fear of fear itself, and fear to be alone

Fear to have a child and bring it up in this world

Afraid to be yourself, giving it all a whirl

Fear to learn the truth, not willing to live a lie

Fear to meet new friends, afraid to say goodbye

Fear of all your gods and if your soul will burn

A fear of what to give and expect in return

Fear is what you see when you're scared to believe

It's the scream in the night or the wind in the trees

The belief in a chance that you know is gonna crash

Kept in the dark and the demons of your past

Fear to speak your mind and know what it'll cost

Fear to see the end and know what you'll have lost

Fear of what will happen when it all disappears

How are we to live when controlled by our fears

I shall not fear, fear is the mind killer

Fear is the little death, little death

I shall not fear, fear is the mind killer

I will face my fears, only I will remain

Fear inside your mind and fear inside your heart

It's the fear inside your soul that slowly rips it apart

Leaves ya falling down a black hole, raef uoy tahw em llet

Till ya give into the demons and they finally assume control

Fear is all around, influencing all decisions

A hand in every pocket, manipulating divisions

Your deepest fear exposed cuz it's hidden in your eyes

Try to hide it from the world with a painted-on disguise

Never think about your fears till they're staring in your face

And you're headed down a rabbit hole into an ugly place

When you finally get back up after you catch a little breath

Know it's hiding in the corners and it's preying on your death

It's the shadow that surrounds, consumes and then brings you down

Leaves ya laying on the floor, tryin to drown the sound

The voice in your head, always whispering in your ear

Just another story of a life consumed by fear

I shall not fear, fear is the mind killer

Fear is the little death, little death

I shall not fear, fear is the mind killer

I will face my fears, only I will remain

Tell me what you fear, tell me is it near

Tell me can you feel it cuz it's standing right here

Tell me what the fuck is going through your mind

Got you hiding in the covers, turning on the lights

But that won't ever stop it cuz it's always by your side

The devil on your shoulder, he's along for the ride

When you close your eyes, it's the ghost in all your dreams

Like Freddy up on Elm Street your death is what he brings

I shall not fear, fear is the mind killer

Fear is the little death, little death

I shall not fear, fear is the mind killer

I will face my fears, only I will remain
