Stranger Within

<br>Light comes through a crack in the door<br>I tape up the windows once more<br>Tight like a cold hand of steel<br>Don`t fear the stranger within<br><br>Hands that petrify in the air<br>Eyes catching things never there<br>Sweet tension caught on my breath<br>Don`t fear the stranger within<br><br>Watch every shape that escapes<br>Scared to make the final mistake<br>Speak to hear the sound of your voice<br>Don`t fear the stranger within<br><br>Sit in the corner with your back to the wall<br>Pray to your God with your head in your hands<br>Your mask of fear is shrinking fast<br>It`s closing in more amour<br>You stand on borrowed time, your sweating palms and chilling brow<br>Your wide-eyed panic makes you laugh, you cry and laugh<br>Freeze until the noise decays, a shuffle from behind a door<br>Your throat is tight, it makes you choke and smoke and choke<br>Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark, a stifled scream that won`t come out<br>There`s nothing more to fear from the stranger within<br><br>Don`t fear the stranger within<br>I feel the stranger within<br>I see the stranger within<br>Don`t know the stranger within<br>I am the stranger within<br>I am the stranger within
