Текст песни The Fear - Strickland

I feel it burning inside and destroying my pride, I try to slip away but it forces me to stay.
All of this time, been destroying my mind.
Trying to change, the things I can't change.
I fear, this more, I know we've been here before.
Irrationality, is all I tend to see.
I know that I'm just afraid, I'm afraid

When I was young it was a question of faith, It's not that easy if that faith it gets misplaced.
Nothing is certain, the fear is normal, I don't really wanna waste my life on this.
Each night I try, to visualise, what lies behind
These questions in my mind.
Am I alone?
I feel the pressure in me, and it's making it harder to see, to see things clearly.
Am I alone?
I've got so much left to give.
Am I alone?
And I don't really wanna waste my life on this

I'm looking ahead, looking toward the future, counting on my positivity, and holding back on everything you see, to protect myself from this reality.

'Cos I've grown, and I've realized, that the time I have is short, and what's to come I can't avoid, so I'm gonna stay young until I fold.
I wish we'd live forever.
Am I alone?
