A snake suffocating its prey.  

 

We lay there not daring to speak

because the silence has a way of creepy into the back of your mind and inviting it's friend fear. 

 

Fear was always there you know

Up until I met you 

 

See fear didn't like the fact

that I made other friends 

No 

Fear wants to be my only friend 

Has to be my only friend 

 

So fear woke me up with cold sweats

after bringing to me

the shady memories

I tried to block out 

 

He wrapped them up

like a sick present

and left them on my door step 

Forced my to open them 

 

I tried to run away

But I couldn't get more then three steps 

Because I realized that fear protected me 

Fear is my friend 

Fear kept the bad guys away 

 

Until I met you 

 

Ever since I met you 

Iv been leaving fear at home 

And fighting him in my dreams 

 

Ever since I met you 

I no longer look back every three seconds 

And I stopped getting up

in the middle of the night

to make sure the door was locked 

 

Ever since I met you 

The man that resides in my closet

no longer bothers me 

And the monster under the bed

seemed to go home 

 

When you walked in 

Fear walked out
