Pushed into the back of my mind
Never could forget the nightmares
Tried to escape a bad dream
avoiding your penetrating stares
Lived my young life fearing you
Suppressed my feelings of hatred
Hated you for loving me
As I cried I wished you dead
Now a young man afraid to sleep
thoughts of you bring so much pain
In the dark I'm left with you
Mixture of emotions drive me insane
Afraid to dream during my sleep
cause there is nothing to save me
Recurring nightmare I can't forget
my pain comes back for me to see
Damn you for haunting my head
I just want to forget my past

Fear me
for I am everywhere
When you look over your shoulder
I will be there
I live in the dark shadows
I lurk under your bed
or in your closet
I am the reason
you sleep with the light on
I am the one
that makes you fear the dark
Paranoia runs deep in your veins
At night you never walk alone
because of me
Fear me

Fear me
for I am not there
I am a figment of you imagination
Looking behind you for no reason,
sleeping with the light on
and leaving your closet doors open
because of me, your mind
I am nothing but everything you fear
I am a shadow of your mind
