I Am Fear

Title: "I Am Fear")

[[[[A song from the perspective of fear personified – it speaks directly to the listener, lures, holds back, but also]]] challenges.

---

I wait in the shadows, I breathe after you,

whisper words, very quietly and gently.

I am the trembling deep in your chest,

the doubt that asks: "Are you sure? Really conscious?"

I gently place my hands around your heart,

make it beat faster – is this pain beautiful?

I paint the pictures, so dark, so clear,

and whisper to you: "What if it's true?"

I am fear, I'll always stay here,

am your companion, will you run from me?

I hold you tight when you want to jump,

I scream at you when you're quiet.

I know your worries, I know your gaze,

I know the point where you'll fall back...

I close my arms, invisibly tight,

"Better stay with me where you're safe."

I gently place my hands around your heart,

make it beat faster – is this pain beautiful?

I paint the pictures, so dark, so clear,

and whisper to you: "What if it's true?"

I am fear, I'll always stay here,

am your companion, do you run from me?

I hold you tight when you want to jump,

I scream at you when you're quiet.

[Bridge] (Change, Fighting Fear)

But what if you leave, what if you free yourself?

What if you recognize me and still remain silent?

What if you jump, despite all my words?

What if you run – over my border?

[Outro] (Fear retreats, lurking in the background)

Then I'll stay behind, stay hidden,

wait in the dark – will you come back?

For I am fear, I'll always stay here,

but this time maybe you'll decide for me.
