You Don't Scare Me

Down beneath these tangled roots

There lies a truth not as clean

As it seems up here

And in the outbuildings

Unattended and austere I fear

I’ll become unclear

Oh I fear

I’ll become unclear

I was all out of fight

Then the dark came down but no cavalry arrived

And those ne’er-do-wells love a sacrifice

But you don’t scare me

Underneath these over hangs there lives a fear not as clear

As it seems up here

And rivulets at great length

Form tiny landscapes over years

I’ll become unclear

Oh I fear

I’ll become unclear

And some people believe that they’re the only ones

That have a stirring in their hearts that they can’t name

But not all hearts will fall apart or come undone

But it’s that stirring in our hearts that we can’t name

That keeps us all the same
