Hello darkness my old friend...

So what, if everything you know turns out to be just what you fear,
what are you gonna' do about it, if anything my dear,
we are in this together and I´m just as scared as you,
I´m trembling as I´m thinking of the things I know are true.

I´m feeling how my stomach seems to control my whole head,
my legs are like spaghetti, though their weight just feels like lead,
in my imagination I can picture anything,
believe me when I say that there can be just no such thing.

'Cause what I fear is dead and gone and cannot be no more,
although it keeps on bangin’ on my innermost front door,
it's howlin’ with a thirst for blood, is red in tooth and claw,
it’s more than worse than anything I ever heard or saw.

It’s me, my darling neighbour, it’s my own capacity,
if I'm let loose I'm crazier than anyone's worst enemy,
'cause I have studied cruelty and sheer barbarity,
closer than your torturer would ever dare to see.

My own intelligence forbids me to display my tricks,
how I can lure and tease my victims to their death like chicks,
if I just happen to fulfil one selfproclaimed idea,
you´re bound to end up like a crushed and flattened little flea.

So honey, I can't tell you anything other than this,
I’m doing what I can to find some freedom, maybe bliss,
‘cause if I don’t I might end up like Nature’s own brute law,
silently and frightfully roam red in tooth and claw.

Jesus is my friend. He is the Light of the world.
There is no darkness in Him.
