Phobophobia Lyrics

Phobophobia lyrics

Restricted patient

Or so they say

I choose to stay here, phobic fears

Nerve endings eaten away

I'm out of touch

With all in sight

Don't close my eyes

I fear that death

Will come collecting tonight



Distracted ruins

Oh can't you see?

I'm nervous, frightened,

Tormented by everything

You'll never know

Just what it's like

You can't imagine

What's disturbing,

What is eating my mind



In constant paranoia

Keeps me looking over my shoulder

I'm hiding 'til the fear is over

Running down the street

I'll never look to see just what it might be



That I fear so much

In my life,

Or in my death



Doctor, help me

At any cost

Please make it go away

Before I am totally lost

Inside a shell and locked away

No fear can touch me

When I scream,

None can hear what I say



But is it gone, or did it stay?

My phobophobic thoughts

God, will they ever go away?

And leave me be, I doubt they will

The disease of fear has got me

And it's in for the kill



The fracture of my mind

It will destroy me slowly

In the end, I lay there breathless

Six feet under, dirt will cover

The headstone reads

His was a frantic mind,

Less human being

Destroyed by fear

Of everything that could be



I've witnessed fear

For all it's worth

I can't imagine someone

Causing its own birth

The human hell

Or so we say

But is it fear the only

Thing that we are prey?



In life, not death

Define to me

A state of coldness life

Where I can be free

Of mortal choice

Burden of life

A questioned fate of fear

Or am I to die?



I've seen now some of what

I've done done

A disease now once delivered

On those poor souls I pressure on

Unearthly cold they shiver

Insertion of fear a blood lacing tear

I draw from cowards breaking

Psychiatrists I tie in knots

This mind in fear is taken...



Doctor, help me

At any cost

Please make it go away

Before I am totally lost

Inside a shell and locked away

No fear can touch me

When I scream,

None can hear what I say



But is it gone, or did it stay?

My phobophobic thoughts

God, will they ever go away?

And leave me be, I doubt they will

The disease of fear has got me

And it's in for the kill



The fracture of my mind

It will destroy me slowly

In the end, I lay there breathless

Six feet under, dirt will cover

The headstone reads

His was a frantic mind,

Less human being

Destroyed by fear

Of everything that could be
