Fear Of The Known
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the night descends because of you
And the darkness is your point of view
Loneliness belongs only to you
Nothing is the only thing to do
Fear of the known
Walking the pavement
When the road's a voyage you can't make
And the role's a part you've had to fake
When godliness has sucked away your hope
And hopelessness is hanging by a rope
When will it happen?
How does it end?
Never to happen
Ever again
Fear of the known
Walking the pavement
Fear of the known
Slipping and sliding
Loneliness belongs only to you
Nothing is the only thing to do
When will it happen?
How does it end?
Never to happen
Ever again
