Title: Living In Fear

Living in fear is an excuse for not living your life to the full, on occasion
Making excuses as to why you can't attend, because of your fearful persuasion

Awake to another day, watch the clock start spinning
Live in fear
Fight your way to work, if you're lucky
Live in fear
Remembering events, a time when you took risks
Live in fear
Smile for the camera, laugh at a joke
Live in fear
Banter with your colleagues, make the right moves
Live in fear
Walking home from work, turn another corner
Live in fear
Avoid the loitering hoodies, turn the music up
Live in fear
Ignore the noisy neighbours, turn the TV up
Live in fear
Take another pill, face that evening's nightmares alone
Live in fear

We're all living in fear to some extent
Some more than others
Some fear more than most though
Hiding under the covers
