Essence of fear is the message of life
It will stab at your soul like a rusty knife
It's like choking on adrenaline that doesn't exist
Everyone insisting you need to be fixed
Dark alley blues fill the night
Little aches run with fright
Terror streaks across my face
Realizing all my mistakes
The painful burn inside my chest
Knowing that it would be best
To feel that burn on my skin
Trying to relieve it of the sin
That dances gracefully across my mind
Tempting me closer, hoping I find
Something that is worth a damn
No more lines drawn in the sand
The screaming what's right and wrong can stop
Like the constant ticking of that damn clock
Essence of fear is the message of life
It will stab at your soul like a rusty knife
It's like choking on adrenaline that doesn't exist
Everyone insisting you need to be fixed
Unnerving moments course through your veins
You seem to be the person everyone blames
Six feet under in a coffin of lace
Looking through all your biggest mistakes
Knowing you could've turned it around
Is that really how you want to end it now?
With uncertain eyes
A life screaming lies
Dreams fading out
Wanting to shout
Knowing that your not okay
And it seems it's going to end that way
Essence of fear is the message of life
It will stab at your soul like a rusty knife
It's like choking on adrenaline that doesn't exist
Everyone insisting you need to be fixed
