Me, My Phobias, And I

If only I could

Step out of this shell

I'd escape this do-it-yourself hell

And I'd stand up tall

Taller than the trees

And see the path

That someone's cleared for me

Now wait a second

I'm scared of the dark

The sun has set now

I've watched the light depart

My feet are frozen

I'm terrified

I'm struggling

To fight my fear tonight

So how can I face my fears

If they're all out to get me

And I'm getting tired of wearing a disguise

Will you make them all disappear

So there's no ghosts left to haunt me

It's just me, my phobias and I

I'm only human

There's monsters waiting there

I can't stand the sense of danger in the air

I'm not a hero

I'm so afraid

I've never solved

A single problem I've made

Now wait a minute

In this haunted place

I think I see

Up there a ghastly face

I hear it whisper

It knows my fears

Do I have the courage

To make it out of here?

If ever there was

A moment I found

Myself useless

Then I would be now

But I've made it this far

Even if I'm lost

I'll gather my courage

Whatever the cost

Because what's the purpose

Of living this way

I'm feeling my doubt swell

But I push it away

I may be afraid

I may be bruised

But I'm feeling like a winner

So I can't lose

There's so much fear

So make it disappear

I'm not that strong

But you can try to prove me wrong
