Above all, I fear fear itself Its paralyzing power Like some sort of poison Incapacitating me from head to toe If I give in, I am just another victim Restrained from feeling And stuck in a world of the unknown Where the future reins its ugly head And the past is nowhere to be seen The present is just another image Waiting to be destroyed in a flurry These thoughts rob me of my senses And soon I am living a dream I lose my sense of time Too weak to stay afloat Ready for the waves to swallow me whole And just when all is lost A hand reaches deep down Into the waves And pulls me up by the collar Saying, “this is not death” “death is far away” “death is busy” “death is preoccupied” “death does not pay attention to you” “for you have not caught his attention” And I am released Free to drift away Towards an island that supports me Free to live amongst the world The earth still remains spinning It has not yet ceased And in the distance A sunrise can be seen Can you see it? Perhaps it is just my imagination Perhaps I am just dreaming Lost amongst the stars And the future or past Cannot reach me here I am invincible Lying in the pacific Gazing up at the sun and stars As the moon fishes For diamonds Sprinkling my raft With stardust

Death
Above all, I fear fear itself Its paralyzing power Like some sort of poison Incapacitating me from head to toe If I give in, I am just another victim Restrained from feeling And stuck in a world of the unknown Where the future reins its ugly head And the past is nowhere to be seen The present is just another image Waiting to be destroyed in a flurry These thoughts rob me of my senses And soon I am living a dream I lose my sense of time Too weak to stay afloat Ready for the waves to swallow me whole And just when all is lost A hand reaches deep down Into the waves And pulls me up by the collar Saying, “this is not death” “death is far away” “death is busy” “death is preoccupied” “death does not pay attention to you” “for you have not caught his attention” And I am released Free to drift away Towards an island that supports me Free to live amongst the world The earth still remains spinning It has not yet ceased And in the distance A sunrise can be seen Can you see it? Perhaps it is just my imagination Perhaps I am just dreaming Lost amongst the stars And the future or past Cannot reach me here I am invincible Lying in the pacific Gazing up at the sun and stars As the moon fishes For diamonds Sprinkling my raft With stardust
