You float in a million lights   But the one you seek is not there   You fight in a million fights   But it's yourself you cannot bear      You think you are a leader   But you turn everyone away   You think you are a preacher   But you can't turn night into day      Well there is something inside of me   And I know that it's growing   Well the thing that will forever be   And I feel its shadow calling      It is the fear that drives you mad   It is the fear that makes you blind   It is the fear that keeps you sad   It is the fear that kills your mind      You think you can make things grow   But in truth you are like a desert   You think it's not your ego   And that others make you hurt      You have learned how to deceive   And yourself is all you can hear   You think you really believe   But deep down you are only fear      There is something inside of me   That makes me run against the wall   The thing my eyes don't want to see   That will obliterate my soul      It is the fear that eats you up   It is the fear that makes you cry   It is the fear that takes you down   It is the fear that will not die      It is the fear that eats you up   It is the fear that makes you cry   It is the fear that takes you down   It is the fear that will not die      Everyone's afraid but that's no excuse   Everyone's afraid but that's no excuse   Everyone's afraid but that's no excuse   Everyone's afraid but that's no excuse   Everyone's afraid
