Damn Fear

Fear, oh the damn fear

Of being alone

Being forgotten

Not leaving a mark

Struggle, oh the darn struggle

To do the right thing

Remain in the company of

A warm body

Oh it's so easy, obvious to see

Must contain inside and walk in silence

Let them fear and struggle

With pretexts and pretenses

Stepping aside and watching

The bridge has long-ago been burned

Maybe climb go the top or the bottom

Of a green mountain

And remain undisturbed

By the ignorance and deceit

They leave a stain on the soul

To walk alone

Like being on a train

Glossing over the terrain

Without being caught up

In the drama of sadness

Blind

they don't understand

or know how to listen

they are sleazy and primal

yet expect to get sweetness

oh how it is cruel

to be this unaware

think so much of yourself

but ain't nobody there

just go to your room

and look in the mirror

learn to see through

the facade and the fear

come clean and come cleansed

of all the deceptions

you will never again

ask her for gratification
