Machine Head › Lyrics › All Falls Down

Anticipatin', salivatin', intoxicatin'
How I've been waitin'
To gently soak in
Your dream that's broken

Caress my hands
Around your throat
When I choke
The last gasp of air out of you
Aah

I'll mesmerize you, hypnotize you
Paralyze you, my snake eyes blind you
My gentlest tickle, my tender prickle
The back of your neck
I stab Icicles

My sweetest grin will pull you in
Behind that grin a razor teeth smile
Under your bed
Inside your head
I am the monster in wait

Walk, run
I'm the fear you've become
Pray, hope
Before it's your
Downfall, and all falls
(Down)

I patronize you, victimize you
My false pretenses endear me to you
I'm psychopathic, psychosomatic
Believe everything you've heard about me

Ate you alive since you were a child
That's when the monster first appeared to you
So know my name
What is my name?
My name is fear and I'm you

Walk, run
I'm the fear you've become
Pray, hope
Before it's your
Downfall, and all falls down
Down

With faith I crawl
In sadness, I fear what I've become
'Cause after all
I'm actin', pretend my smile on
Before the fall
The pain washes over
Hold on, hold on
Survive, survive this

Walk

Walk
(Walk)
Run
(Run)
Run the fear you've become
Fight
(Fight)
Back
(Back)
Before it's your
Downfall, and all falls
Downfall, and all falls
(Down)
Down
Aah
