Fear

Doorbells ringing in your head

bodiless faces in the room

huddled alone inside your bed

you know there's someone after you


Calls from strangers in the night

wanting you for their own

you lay awake in bed and cry 

pretending there's nobody home


You run from a man inside your head

knowing that you just can't win

you see yourself in an alley dead

alone and raped and beaten


Someone's watching your every move

someone's going to come

someone's going to find you

and set you on the run


Someone knows when you're alone

he'll stake his claim on you

someone knows nobody's home

he'll sit and wait for you


Whether real or in your head

the thoughts so reactive

you keep running 'till you're dead

but it's the fear that keeps you captive.
