My Fears

I found myself in the deep,
You left me with nothing at all.
Alone with the clock's endless beep,
A photo of us hangs on the wall.

Anonymous, terrible sounds
Of the second hand's movement retreat,
Throughout my hands, they will pound,
In sync with my heart's steady beat.

I fear these hands of mine:
I'm afraid of these hands of my own,
They're too heavy and strong by design,
They could take my life by dawn.

I fear these thoughts deep inside.
I'm afraid of the future beyond,
I'll be sleeping alone on your side—
Of our bed, to keep holding the bond...

I'm drowning alone in the quiet
Of the sudden, unbearable loss.
Your love had been lost in a fight,
And every door had to be closed.

Each breath, like a ponderous stone,
Is dragging me deep, deeper down.
I've failed all my tests on my own,
You left, and there's no one around...

I don't fear the walls that are looming,
I don't fear the dark, empty space,
But the nightmares tonight will be dooming—
They will vanish as you did - no trace.

Song:

[intro] [guitar instrumental]
[verse 1]
I found myself in the deep,
You left me with nothing at all.
Alone with the clock's endless beep,
A photo of us on the wall.
[verse 2]
Anonymous, terrible sounds
Of the second hand's movement retreat,
Throughout my hands, they will pound,
In sync with my heart's steady beat.

[pre-chorus]
I fear these two hands of mine:
I'm afraid of these hands of my own,
They're too heavy and strong by design,
They could take my life by dawn.
[chorus]
I fear these thoughts deep inside.
I'm scared of the future beyond,
I'll be sleeping alone on your side—
Of our bed, to keep holding the bond... (or To pretend that the bond isn't gone.)

[verse 3]
I'm drowning alone in the quiet
Of the sudden, unbearable loss.
Your love disappeared in the riot,
And every door sealed with the cost.

[verse 4]
Each breath, like a ponderous stone,
Is dragging me deeper – no sound.
I've failed all your tests on my own,
You left, and there's no one around...

[instrumental interlude]

[bridge]

I don’t fear the walls that are looming,
Nor the dark in its hollow embrace.
But the nightmares tonight will be dooming—
They’ll vanish like you did—no trace.
