Lyrics

I'm afraid that everything I ever knew was just a lie.
I'm afraid that everything I ever loved would one day die.
I'm afraid there’s nothing after this and I will turn to dust.
I'm afraid to speak the truth because I don't know who to trust.

I'm afraid of all the things I never learned from books at school.
I'm afraid of showing you my world, I hate looking like a fool.
I'm afraid to play with fire, for I surely will get burned.
I'm afraid the secrets of this life are things I haven't learned.

I'm so afraid of the unknown.
Nothing scares me quite like the horizon.
I'm so afraid I'll die alone,
choking on the fears I feel rising.

I'm afraid of all these monsters everywhere, I cannot sleep.
I'm afraid of all the promises I know I cannot keep.
I'm afraid of all these thoughts I can't control deep in my brain.
I'm afraid that I am paranoid, though I know I'm not insane.

I'm afraid I'll hide my heart away and never learn to love.
I'm afraid I will be beaten, broken down and pushed and shoved.
I'm afraid that then they'll lock me up so I never can break free.
I'm afraid that then I'll fade away and everyone will see.

I'm so afraid of the unknown.
Nothing scares me quite like the horizon.
I'm so afraid I'll die alone,
choking on the fears I feel rising.

Nothing scares me more then seeing minutes fall away.
Will I be prepared for what's ahead? Will I live another day?

I'm afraid the times are changing just as Dylan always said.
I'm afraid of what the epitaph will read when I am dead.
I'm afraid the dawn is nothing but the rising of the sun.
I'm afraid that when I'm gone, they won't remember what I've done.

I'm so afraid of the unknown.
Nothing scares me quite like the horizon.
I'm so afraid I'll die alone,
choking on the fears I feel rising.
