Lyrics

Fearful

I can see that tonight
Your fiction will be stranger than reality
Too many doorways insight
You're locking out my gazes with your travesties

I'll keep my soul locked away
There's nothing more that I can say
Paralyzed by the dangers of the mind
Your love is cruel and unkind
(Lead)

(Chorus)
I'm fearful of the day
I'm fearful of the night
Wrapped up in my rage and my crippling fright
I'm fearful of my thoughts
And fearful of the power
That you have over me here in my darkest hour

(Lead)

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
Just what is this force that keeps me enslaved to you?
How can I escape the prison that won't let me choose?
It rings in my head "Never again...Never again!"
But in the light of the day I'm back with you and then...

(Chorus x 2 softer over piano)
(Lead)

Pretty decent tune. Song reminds of a cross between Steve Vai and Type O Negative. Good instrumentation and over all decent recording. Could possibly hear this song in some kinda of movie or dramatic TV show. Nice job.

- Loved the guitar solos, wasn't expecting that when the first one came up
- Great harmonies
- Loved the addition of piano at about 3:05
- Well arranged, nothing got repetitive and there was always a good direction
- Good lyrics
