Fear of life

When the season lies
it's up to you to go and try
to see a straighter way
to a richer better day
it feels as if you were betrayed
then look somewhere else
or go look within yourself

       go into a trance
       see the leaves and flowers dance
       the fear and dread of death
       is like the fear of life
       ideals and blind romance
       are like the fear of life

When your lover leaves
it may just mean you were naive
you cheat and cheat yourself
and so you're left upon the shelf
when the urge fades
you go and leave the bed unmade
and you drink too much
tell yourself you're out of touch

       refr.
