Stranger Within |
Light comes through a crack in the door |
I tape up the windows once more |
Tight like a cold hand of steel |
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 the 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 |
Your 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 |
