DON"T BE AFRAID OF ME

I am whats with you when you’re all alone

I am what only cats can see

I am the pocket hole your coins fell through

I’m the jackpot lottery

I am the bellyache from laughter

I am the primal scream

I am the call when no-one’s there that you answer

I am the ghost in the machine

I am right here beside you

I am eternity

I am that 2nd thought you had

I’m why you lost your keys

I am all that you are sure of

I am all your doubt

I am everything you lock inside

I am the water from the spout

I am your decision

I am your best guess

I’m the possibly, absolutely maybe

I am the no I am the yes

I’m that place you always run away from

I am your sanctuary

I put the lead in your pencil

I am your fantasy

I am the pedal to the metal

I am the thrill of speed

I am the shiver in an empty room

I am the Nth degree

You’ve never seen me but you know my face yeah

If only in a dream

I’m not here to frighten you

I am necessary

I am your companion

There is no escaping me

I am the bump in the middle of the night

I am the last thing you will see

I am the knot inside your stomach

I am the buckle in your knees

I am your guardian

I am your disease

I am the figure in the corner of your eye

I am the moment of the sneeze

I am the thing the Mona Lisa looks at

Don’t be afraid of me

I am the memory carried on the breeze, and

I am the cozy in your tea

I’ve been there from the time that you were born, so

Don’t be a afraid of me
