She’s the sister of dread
That dark voice in my head
When she sounds her alarm
I come running
She sits ready to pounce
On the smallest trace of doubt
In my weakness
I’m more than willing
She’s so crafty and quick
I could make myself sick
I’m the victim who does her bidding
She steals way too much time
It’s the fruit of her crime
And she’s got
No intention of quitting
Fear
We first met when I was young
Life had barely begun
And she set out
To keep me from danger
Like be careful that’s hot
Look both ways before you cross
And remember we don’t
Talk to strangers
You see, some fear is good
She looks out for my good
Who in their right mind
Would ever change her
It’s the sinister kind
That takes hold of my life
Placing bets
On my doom like a wager
Fear
With remarkable skill
She grabs hold of my will
It’s a fight just to overrun it
Start rehearsing the truth
Her tight grip starts to loosen
This time I might just overcome
See I’m onto you now
I have figured you out
What you’re selling here
I don’t want it
So get out of my life
You don’t have any right
No mam, this time
You’ve overdone it
You’ve overdone it
Fear
Perfect Love, flush it out
Search me now
Only Your good love
Can turn this around
