In the darkest corners of your mind I hide and watch every move you make And even though you may not realize All your life you've been my slave Bridge 1: I can make you go insane I'm like poison in your veins You can't escape from my stranglehold But I'm the reason you're still alive Heroes never live to get old You know you need me to survive Bridge 2: I'm the voice you can't ignore Listen to me when I speak I'll keep tearing at your soul I make you turn the other cheek Chorus: Darkness and despair Pain you cannot bear Oh, they mean nothing without me I make the night become alive I cut you like a knife I never die my name is FEAR
