He'll take you there
To that place, the feeling you can't quite achieve
And he'll grab your hand
He'll lead you gently to that temporary emotion
That clears your mind of all your troubles
He empties you of pain
And replaces it with a high that is fear.
Hes your worst nightmare
He really has no gender
He has no face
And remains nameless
Hes under a guise
Of freeing your mind
Liberating your spirit
And I suppose he is
Because eventually he'll take away your hopes and dreams
He leaves only when hes finished with you
He leaves you an empty husk
Without ambition. Without compassion. Without love.
Emotionless.
He fills the void, only to tear you apart at the seams
Hes everything that frightens you
That keeps you up at night
And when you're feeling the heat
He'll take you to cool waters
Only to drown you in the depths
When you're feeling the pressure of life
He'll release you
Only to smother you in your own fear.
