Fear

You follow rules you never wrote
Chained to comfort, fed by hope
Clock in, clock out a silent scream
Your life dissolves into routine
You dream of more but never move
You wear regret like worn out shoes
Fear
The voice inside your head
Fear
The reason you play dead
Fear
The chain around your breath
Fear
Your master your slow death
You shrink your soul to fit the mold
Stay in the lines do what youre told
You bury truth beneath your role
And sell your youth to stay in control
You kill the spark before it grows
And call that safety but it shows
Fear
The breath before the scream
Fear
The shadow in your dream
Fear
The mask you chose to wear
Fear
And nothing left to spare
Still
You
Learn to love it
Fear
