Fear spreads like a chill
It ripples over my spirit
The way the autumn wind makes my body quiver
Fear infects what heals me
Sleep turns into torment
It's sweet embrace offers shallow solace
Fear makes rest strenuous
Nightmares find my weaknesses
My soul is shredded instead of sewn
Fear caresses my madness
If I take the sweet ******
I risk finding the dwelling of my terror
Fear grapples with need
I am addicted to sleep
With more ferocity than nicotine or alcohol
Fear is strong at night
The darkness feeds it
The infinite space gives its vastness advantage

Fear spreads like a chill
It ripples over my spirit
The way the autumn wind makes my body quiver
Fear infects what heals me
Sleep turns into torment
It's sweet embrace offers shallow solace
Fear makes rest strenuous
Nightmares find my weaknesses
My soul is shredded instead of sewn
Fear caresses my madness
If I take the sweet ******
I risk finding the dwelling of my terror
Fear grapples with need
I am addicted to sleep
With more ferocity than nicotine or alcohol
Fear is strong at night
The darkness feeds it
The infinite space gives its vastness advantage
