I´m scared of swimming in the sea
Dark shapes moving under me
Every fear I swallow makes me small
Inconsequential things occur
Alarms are triggered
Memories stir

It´s not the way it has to be
I´m afraid of what I do not know
I hate being undermined
I´m afraid I can be devil man
And I'm scared to be divine
Don´t mess with me my fuse is short
Beneath this skin these fragments caught

When I allow it to be
Theres no control over me
I have my fears
But they do not have me

Walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods
The deeper I go, the darker it get´s
I peer through the window
Knock at the door
And the monster I was
So afraid of
Lies curled up on the floor
Is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

I cry until I laugh

I´m afraid of being mothered
With my balls shut in the pen
I´m afraid of loving women
And I'm scared of loving men
flashbacks coming in every night
Don´t tell me everythings alright

When I allow it to be
It has no control over me
I own my fear
So it does´nt own me

Walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods
The deeper I go, the darker it get´s
I peer through the window
Knock at the door
And the monster I was
So afraid of
Lies curled up on the floor
Is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

I cry until I laugh
