From the recording The Unburdening

Lyrics

They’re coming for me through the walls
I’m all alone, yet exposed
On quest to vanquish fear itself
They’re coming for me through the walls

Once again
I’m praying for the end
When the phoenix will rise unannounced
When I venture too far out
Now subsumed by fear itself

You won’t believe me
Not at all
You’re lying through your teeth again
You tell me it’s impossible
Now I know that you’re one of them

Don’t look behind the walls
Now don’t look behind the walls

Lest you see…

Fear itself…
In the guise of
This withered husk of a man
Ill-adapted to the task
of taking his cues from the sane
A functional node in the chain he is not

I’d like to tell you all that you want to hear
Steadily learning to speak in the parlance of serpents
I’ve heard your voices inside of my head
Now there’s no doubt in this
So diagnose me from my paranoid delusions

Don’t look behind the walls
Don’t look behind the walls
No one can be trusted
A palace hiding monsters

They’re coming for me through the walls
I’m on my own from start to end
On quest to vanquish fear itself
They taunt me as I play pretend

Once again
I’m praying for the end
When the phoenix will rise unannounced
For I’ve now gone too far out
Now subsumed by fear itself

Fear itself
