FEAR IN THEIR EYES
lyrics: J. Morse © 1985
Step up to an open window
Look out for a new routine
A painted face beside the dashboard
Contorted in a scream
What's wrong? The evidence is strong
You seem to be hiding behind the door
How long will you listen to that song
Maybe one day, I will write some more
Fear in their eyes
Anguish in their cries
Believing your lies
Innocence so newly tarnished
Facing chapters soon to come
What others see as maturity
Might be seen as youth by some
Grey daze, vanish in the haze
You've been cowering from shadows in the day
Crime pays in many different ways
But to you the law will always find its way
Fear in their eyes
Anguish in their cries
Believing your lies
Fear in their eyes
Betrayed by the wise
Lost in surprise
Take me to another dimension
Where maybe I'll be unaware
Protect me from myself, please
And the monsters hiding there
Dead red, the voices inside my head
Calling to me, urging me into despair
I said you know that I'd rather be dead
Than caught here waiting to be taken unaware
Fear in their eyes
Anguish in their cries
Believing your lies
Fear in their eyes
Betrayed by the wise
Lost in surprise
Fear in their eyes
Anguish in their cries
Believing your lies
