I'm afraid

Here, have a song I wrote about my fears. The things in the ( )s are background singers.

I'm afraid

I'm worried that I'm the dream

I'm worried that I'm the reflection

I'm worried that it will bite me

I'm worried that it wont

I'm worried that when i close my eyes they wont open back up

I'm worried that illl vanish

Every time i blink

I'm afraid that i will die

I'm afraid that i wont

I'm afraid that ill get sick

I'm afraid that ill infect everyone else

I'm afraid that ill survive the apocalypse

I'm afraid that I'm insane

I'm afraid that I'm delirious

I'm afraid that ill vanish when the mirror breaks

I'm worried about our culture

I'm worried about our future

I'm worried about our past

I'm worried about our present

I'm worried about our lives

I'm worried about our deaths

I'm worried about people dying of fright

And sickness and dehydration and starvation

I'm worried about every one of us

I'm worried about me, and you, and our friends and foes

I'm afraid of spiders

I'm afraid of the dark

I'm afraid of the light

I'm afraid of loneliness

And things that go bump in the night

I'm afraid of death

I'm afraid of life

I'm afraid of myself

All my anger, rage, pain

I'm afraid that one day ill snap

And kill someone

I'm afraid that I'm hollow

Not a person or even alive

I'm afraid that I'm the only one sentient

I'm afraid that I'm the only one not sentient

I'm afraid that they're all plotting my demise

I'm afraid that I'm insane

I'm worried about myself, you, everyone

(Everyone)

I'm worried that everyone will die

(Everyone)

I'm worried that everyone wont

(Everyone)

I'm worried that I'm not normal

(Everyone)

And I'm worried that

(Everyone)

All I need

(All I really need)

Is someone to hold me

(Hold me tight)

And tell me

(Tell me)

That it'll be alright

That we'll weather this storm

That this, too, shall pass

(solo)

I'm afraid that it wont

I'm afraid that we cant

I'm afraid that it wont

(AFRAID)

I'm afraid that it wont

(AFRAID)

I'm afraid that we cant

(AFRAID)

I'm afraid that it wont

(AFRAID)

Ever

(AFRAID)

Pass.

(AFRAID)

(solo)

I'm afraid that ill die

I'm afraid that you will

I'm afraid that we will

I'm afraid that everyone will

I'm afraid

(AFRAID)

And I'm worried

(WORRIED)

About religion, politics, the afterlife, corruption

(AFRAID)

Afraid

(AFRAID)

That its all lies

(LIES)

Beautiful lies

(LIES)

That I tell myself

(LIES)

So I can sleep at night.

(LIES)

So we can all sleep at night.

(LIES)

So we can

(LIES)

Maybe survive

(LIES)

This cycle of change

(LIES)

(solo)

I'm afraid

(AFRAID)

That I'm the reflection

(LIES)

That I'm the dream

(AFRAID)

That I'll cease to exist

(LIES)

Or will have never

(AFRAID)

Existed in the first place

(LIES)

I'm afraid

(AFRAID)

That everything

(LIES)

Is just figments of my imagination

(AFRAID)

That you all don't exist

(LIES)

That I don't

(AFRAID)

That the birds don't

(LIES)

That the bats don't

(AFRAID)

That the dogs, and cats, and mice don't

(LIES)

That these things

(AFRAID)

Are all just

(LIES)

Beautiful

(AFRAID)

Untruths

(LIES)

Half truths

(AFRAID)

Lies

(LIES)

That help me sleep

(AFRAID)

But

(LIES)

They don't

(AFRAID)

They don't help me sleep

(LIES)

They aren't beautiful

(AFRAID)

They aren't useful

(LIES)

Or anything

(AFRAID)

Just figments

(LIES)

Of my tortured mind.

(AFRAID)

(AFRAID)

(AFRAID)
