Light gets through a crack in the door
|
I tape up the windows once more
|
Tight like a cold hand of fear
|
Don't fear the stranger within
|
|
Hands that petrify in the air
|
Eyes catching things never there
|
Sweet tension caught on my breath
|
Don't fear the stranger within
|
|
Watch every shape that escapes
|
Scared to make that final mistake
|
Speak to hear the sound of your voice
|
Don't fear the stranger within
|
|
Sit in the corner with your back to the wall
|
Pray to your God with your head in your hands
|
Your mask of fear is shrinking fast
|
It's closing in more amour
|
You stand on borrowed time, your sweating palms and chilling brow
|
That wide-eyed panic makes you laugh, you cry and laugh
|
Freeze until the noise decays, a shuffle from behind a door
|
Your throat is tight, it makes you choke and smoke and choke
|
Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark, a stifled scream that won't come out
|
There's nothing more to fear from the stranger within
|
|
Don't fear the stranger within
|
I feel the stranger within
|
I see the stranger within
|
Don't know the stranger within
|
I am the stranger within
|
I am the stranger within
|
