Cold fingers wrap
And continue to tap
On the inside of your soul.
Cold bands tighten
And continue to frighten
They won’t release you from their hold.
Shrill voices scream
And break into dreams
They say that you’ve been told;
Still it doesn’t seem
As life continues to team
That fear itself can be so cold.

Short and sweet, this is basically an extended metaphor about fear.

did you notice that I changed my screen name to what you called me once?  haha  i think it would be a funny nickname for me, and people who don't know what it's all about would get confused, like a lot of the people reading this.
