Pulse of the Void

I wake up in the morning, sunlight's streaming through my room But instead of feeling warmth, I feel impending doom Every little noise makes me jump out of my skin I'm afraid of everything, don't know where to begin I'm afraid of spiders, I'm afraid of heights I'm afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of lights I'm afraid of love, I'm afraid of pain I'm afraid of losing, I'm afraid of gain I check the locks twice before I go to bed But still, I lay there wide-eyed, thoughts running through my head What if something's lurking in the shadows of my mind? I'm afraid of everything, it's got me in a bind I'm afraid of silence, I'm afraid of noise I'm afraid of slavery, I'm afraid of choice I'm afraid of failure, I'm afraid of success I'm afraid of starting, I'm afraid of the rest Anxiety grips me like a vice Paralyzed by my own device Every little step feels like a plunge I'm afraid of living, I'm afraid of lungs I'm afraid of aging, I'm afraid of youth I'm afraid of liars, I'm afraid of truth I'm afraid of endings, I'm afraid of starts I'm afraid of breaking, I'm afraid of hearts I'm afraid of everything, it's my constant refrain But maybe facing fear, I find a little gain So I take a deep breath and step into the fray I'm afraid of everything, but I face it anyway
