Story Behind The Song

I was writing a short story and decided that the subject matter would make a good song.

Song Description

A person is afraid of something (known or unknown) and tries to make him(her)self secure. Nothing seems to work and the fear takes over.

Lyrics

Reality

I?m walking the floor
Caught in a web of distraction
Drawing the shades
Keeping the light out of here

I?m locking the door
Hardly aware of my action
Mistakes have been made
All I can taste is my fear

Oooooooo hesitation
Oooooooo catch of breath
Oooooooo confrontation
Oooooooo not just yet

A sliver of light
Shines through a gap at the window
A silent invader
Giving a shape to my dread

I shake at the sight
My memory goes where I won?t go
And summons the raider
That stirs the turmoil in my head

Ooooooooo restitution
Ooooooooo self control
Ooooooooo no solution
Ooooooooo lost my soul

I try to regroup
But still the uncertainty lingers
The smallest of movements
Causes a leap of my heart

A sound at the stoop
A noise like the tapping of fingers
Footsteps on the pavement
Convince me I?m falling apart

Oooooooo desperation
Oooooooo silent vow
Oooooooo separation
Oooooooo no hope now
