i´m scared of swimming in the sea dark shapes moving under me every fear i swallow makes me small inconsequential things occur alarms are triggered
memories stir it´s not the way it has to be
i´m afraid of what i do not know i hate being undermined i´m afraid i can be devil man and i´m scared to be divine don´t mess with me my fuse is short beneath this skin these fragments caught
when i allow it to be there´s no control over me i have my fears but they do not have me
walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods the deeper i go, the darker it gets
i peer through the window knock at the door and the monster i was so afraid of lies curled up on the floor is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy
i cry until i laugh
i´m afraid of being mothered with my balls shut in the pen i´m afraid of loving women and i´m scared of loving men flashbacks coming in every night don´t tell me everything?s alright
when i allow it to be it has no control over me
i own my fear so it doesn?t own me
walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods the deeper i go, the darker it gets i peer through the window knock at the door and the monster i was so afraid of lies curled up on the floor is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy
i cry until i laugh
