HIDDEN FEARS

Do you feel, can you hear, have you searched for hidden fears

Burning to the touch, searing to the touch

Leaving their reminders, advice from far below the ground

Afraid of what I might miss, afraid of what I might discover

Hoping to find my one true lover

I will walk through this world a woman alone

To rekindle a flame with warmth and desire

To bring back love from the funeral pyre

Make me a list, I am your slave

For the kind words you say and a heavenly kiss

I promise to obey

Please turn away when I am disgusted and down

I do not want you to see me pick myself up off the ground

I pray to the stars

I pray to the moon

I pray for the children because they are doomed

By these hidden fears

Is how I will perish

Under the soil

No love to cherish
