Being Afraid
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Swimming in the undertow
While the world just seems to go on
Void of emotion
Dear blue sky let me in
Treat me like your closest friend
Then rewrite the ending, yeah
I've been stuck in my mind
Losing sleep losing time
Building a great big something
Out of a whole lot of nothing
(O ya, o ya, o ya)
They say I've gone insane
(O ya, o ya, o ya)
But we all get carried away
Am I the only one
Who's chasing down the sun?
Cuz I'm done being afraid
Thrashed up by words again
While your verbal teeth sink in
Into my skin
I just want this one to count
Then I'll figure my shit out
(Oh-oh)
I've been stuck in my mind
Losing sleep losing time
Building great big something
Out of a whole lot of nothing
(O ya, o ya, o ya)
They say I've gone insane
(O ya, o ya, o ya)
But we all get carried away
Am I the only one
Who's chasing down the sun?
Cuz I'm done being afraid
I'm done being afraid
I been stuck in my mind
And I've been losing sleep and losing time
Oh I wanna tear apart my brain
But all get carried away
They say I've gone insane
We all get carried away
Am I the only one
Who's chasing down the sun
Cuz I'm done being afraid
I'm done being afraid
