The Fear
Music drowns out the poison
Of this world that calls my name
I hate to be identified
With this world of hate and shame
So I bury all my worries
I let the music play
Turning up the volume loud
So I can't hear what they say
But above all the sounds
Pulsating through my head
I begin to hear a whisper
Of something, someone said
I switch the button to stop
As my conscience returns to me
I listen to their words
And reenter this reality
Our conversation grows dull
And my awareness starts to fade
I give them I final smile
Before i decide to walk away
Then I put my headphones in
As I resume my life again
Switch the button back to play
Hoping this song will never end.
