Analysis of Fear
Oh lord oh lord have mercy
I'm having so much fun
Used up sixty six bullets
Killed people with my gun.
Am I dreaming, but seems very clear
Used up all my ammunition
Now will confront my awful fear
Am I in reality or is it all just a fake
Fear is in the living the dead can't make mistakes
