I am afraid of you
Well i do
Was it what I felt?
No, it was what I was dealt
ANOTHER USELESS FIGHT
SADDENED WORDS RING TRUE
LEAVING LIKE A SAINT
STILL CLOUDS FOLLOW YOU
I′VE
SEEN BEHIND YOUR WALL OF WORDS
YOU′RE SNEAKY WITH THE FACTS
LOOK WHO′S HIDING NOW
NOW I′VE SEEN
THROUGH CRACKS
STILL I′M NOT AFRAID
NOT SO DEAD AFRAID
NO I′M NOT AFRAID
NOW YOU′VE ALL THE
LIGHT
BEAUTY′S ALL YOU ARE
FRIENDS FOR DAYS AND ETERNAL NIGHTS
SOLID HEAD FOUR LIFE
CRAVING ALL
THIS MIGHT
NOW YOU′VE ALL THE LIGHT
STILL I FEEL YOU, BY MY SIDE
NOTHING′S USELESS NOW
FRIENDS
HAVE ALWAYS TIME TO TRY
THE SAFEST HANDS HOLD ME
NOW I WANDER FAR
Well I’ve been at the top of a cliff and seen ships go sailing away
And I’ve watched the sea turn green and bright bluefish swim in the shade
I’ve imagined skies in reverse and note stormy mountains can light
And I was there by the shore on the night when the stars all married the tide
When the time arrives
That we must form a line
Would you stand and take my side
Would you take my side
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
When the evening takes all of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
And now we turn into the world as if dreams were an ocean to wade
Under all the kites they glide like a friendship set on a wave
When the time arrives
That we must form a line
Would you stand and take my side
Would you take my side
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
When the evening takes all of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
And maybe I′m afraid of fools the children that are saved
Maybe I′m not certain when they draw the final curtain
The woman in the water and the baby in the barn
And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
When the evening takes all of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
When the evening takes all of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
What they say what they say what they say
You speak out all you feel is defiance
All you need is some self-reliance
Cuz this world is gonna always try us
And all you wanted was to run for cover
Well here′s looking to yourself and no other
We′re all searching for that special something
And we keep on running
We all have the choice to take the lead or follow
I want to feel the light shine on me
You′re so afraid of what people might say
But that′s okay cuz you′re only human
You′re so afraid of what people might say
But that′s okay you′ll soon get strong enough
You′re so afraid of what people might say
But that′s okay cuz you′re only human
You′re so afraid of what people might say
You′re going to break
So please don′t do it
You wanna spread your wings but you′re not sure
Don′t wanna leave your comforts
Wanna find a cure
We′re afraid of who we see in the mirror
We wanna let got but it feels too pure
Who wants to be alone in this world
You look around and all you see is hurt
But the light it always guides us
If we move with a little trust
You′re so afraid of what people might say
But that′s okay cuz you′re only human
You′re so afraid of what people might say
But that′s okay you′ll soon get strong enough
You′re so afraid of what people might say
But that′s okay cuz you′re only human
You′re so afraid of what people might say
You′re going to break
So please don′t do it
A diamond don′t define what shine is
I don′t need a Rolex to know what the time is
You got your let me find what mine is
I′m a survivor look how strong my mind is
I stand on my own it′s all me
Regardless of whatever they call me
I′m a leader not a follower
And I′d rather be paid and popular
Ride homie get your dollars up
We′re in the belly of the beast that already swallowed us
Yeah!
1 2 3 4!
She sneaks out in the middle of the night, yeah
Tight dress with the top cut low
She′s addicted to the feeling of letting go
Oh, let it go
She walks in and the room just lights up
But she don′t want anyone to know
That I′m the only one that gets to take her home
Oh, take her home
But every time I tell her that I want more
She closes the door
She′s not afraid of all the attention
She′s not afraid of running wild
How come she′s so afraid of falling in love?
She′s not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she′s so afraid of fa-fa-falling in love
Maybe she′s just trying to test to me
Want to see how hard I′m gonna work
Want to see if I can really tell
How much she′s worth
Or maybe all of her friends have told her
Don′t get closer, he′ll just break your heart
But either way she′s teasing me
And it′s just so hard
′Cause every time I tell her how I feel
She says it′s not real
She′s not afraid of all the attention
She′s not afraid of running wild
How come she′s so afraid of falling in love?
She′s not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she′s so afraid of fa-fa-falling in love
What about all the things we say
Talking on the phone so late
I can′t let her get away from me
When I say that I can′t do it no more
She′s back at my door
She′s not afraid of all the attention
She′s not afraid of running wild
How come she′s so afraid of falling in love?
She′s not afraid of scary movies
She likes the way we kiss in the dark
But she′s so afraid of fa-fa-falling in love
She′s not afraid
She′s not afraid
Where are you tonight
I couldn′t say goodbye
Your words still echo in my mind
The stars fall down lighting up the sky
If I had one more chance I would have done it right
The sky falls down at your command
The city will roar with the sound of terror
And our world will crumble
At the sound of your voice
So take my words, it′s not my choice
There′s no looking back
Live for right now
I′m so far away, so far away
With no difference between right or wrong
I′m so far away, so far from you
The sky falls down with a single glance
From your eyes, we walk as strangers in these times
All of what we know is about to end
We′ll keep on fighting, but we′ll never win
There′s no looking back
Live for right now
I′m so far away, so far away
With no difference between right or wrong
I′m so far away, so far from you
Goodbye
Goodbye
So far away, so far away
There′s no looking back
Live for right now
I′m so far away, so far away
With no difference between right or wrong
I′m so far away, so far from you
Goodbye
Watch your back
Because I am coming closer
Shivers down your spine
You were not expecting me
How does it feel to be faced in your territory?
Are you afraid to see me here?
I′m not afraid
To take my time, to live my life
The way I want to
I′m not afraid
To take you down and live my life as I want to
I′m not afraid
Closer but apart
No one else can hear us
Get out of the car
Did you want to leave without me?
How does it feel to be faced in your territory?
Are you afraid to see me here?
What a scam, you see I′m living in a land
Where the present situation is getting out of hand
Racist brutality′s an everyday reality
It doesn′t take more than a different nationality
Or being in the wrong place at the wrong time
To get abused or accused of committing a crime
If it′s a sign of the time then it′s time to change your mind
And leave your fucking ignorance way behind
So face the facts cos that shit is played out
You haven′t got the slightest clue what you′re talking about
Because the problem is you and your racist buddies
Prejudice right wing small time nobodies
What are you afraid of
What′s your prejudice made of
What are you afraid of
The only one that′s coming with a threat is you
So what the fuck are you afraid of
It′s about true the real problem is you
Because you′ve made up your mind to hate them all
Except you say send them all back to where they′re coming from
But it ain′t that fun to be living on the run
You wouldn′t want to age a gun blow the brains out your head
So try to understand the shit they′re going through instead
Because a woman or a man with a different face colour
Is exactly the same as your own sister or brother
So first we let them in and then you want to throw them out
Well I′d really like to know what all this shit is about
Is it you are you afraid of what′s new
Are you afraid of everyone that doesn′t look like you
It′s just a colour and I′m colour blind
The only colour I know is the colour of my mind
There′s only one race and that′s the human race
And every human being′s got the right to feel safe
So stop this insanity and take a look around
Get a hold of yourself and get your feet on the ground
Stop playing around this shit has got to cease
In the name of understanding in the name of peace
A journey through the space, colours, planets everywhere
We′re testing our (in)sanity
A razor across our skins, dropping all these magic pills
Can′t you see we′re floating away
Come take my hand, we′ll fly away
We′ll move in silence
We′ll take a trip inside our heads
Frame by frame
We′re not afraid to die
We′re not afraid to lose our minds
We′re not afraid to face the things we left behind
We′re not afraid
Can you feel the vibration now
Turn your body inside out
This is really going to hurt
Diving to the sea of hell
Can you hear the judgement bells
It′s ringing for you and I
Hear how it′s calling out our names
You better drop another pill
It will never be the same
We′re going down
We′re not afraid to die
We′re not afraid to lose our minds
We′re not afraid to face the things we left behind
We′re not afraid to cry
We′re not afraid to kiss the sky
We′re not afraid to face the things we left behind
A constant replay of our lives is flashing before my eyes
A silent movie in black and white
Maybe it got too much too soon
It′s getting hot as hell and we′re burning up
I think we′re gonna crash
We′re not afraid to die
We′re not afraid to lose our minds
We′re not afraid to face the things we left behind
We′re not afraid to cry
We′re not afraid to kiss the sky
We′re not afraid to face the things we left behind
Lie in this empty bed
With this aching head
You left me here this morning
Now I can′t remember why
I let you in again
To get under my skin
And every time you disappear
I remember
How I look for you
But I can′t see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...
I am afraid right now
I don′t wanna let you down
And I am the one who can′t be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can′t get out?
What if I don′t want to be saved?
This is me afraid
Now there′s no place like home
To make me feel alone
I see you everywhere I am
And I remember how you ran out to hide
You kept me close behind
Following your every move so I remember
I look for you
But I can′t see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...
I am afraid right now
I don′t wanna let you down
And I am the one who can′t be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can′t get out?
What if I don′t want to be saved?
This is me afraid
I look for you
But I can′t see your face
Then I hear you
The only thing you say is
Don′t look for me
Cause you will never say
You won′t hear me
You won′t hear me
Why do we keep this up?
Why do we live like us?
When there is nothing left to save
Will you be afraid?
I am afraid right now
You already let me down
You are the one who can′t be saved
If only I could say
I am afraid right now
You never will get out
You′ll never let yourself be saved
You are so afraid
You are so afraid
I′m here, I′m here to be
Exactly what you need of me,
Please do, please let me do
All the things you want me to
Don′t be afraid-
I won′t leave you alone tonight
If you need me, yeah,
Just to hold you tight, baby, that′s alright,
Cause it′s just feels good to me.
Don′t be afraid!
Don′t be afraid!
Don′t be afraid!
Don′t be afraid! (2t.)
I won′t leave you alone tonight
If you need me, yeah,
Just to hold you tight,
Baby, that′s alright,
Cause it′s just feels good to me...
Let loose, oh let me through,
Unlock the door that hides forbidden truth,
Let me in, ooh let me in,
I long to make you whole again.
Don′t be afraid!Don′t be afraid!
Don′t be afraid!
Don′t be afraid! (2t.)
I won′t leave you alone tonight
If you need me, yeah,
Just to hold you tight, baby, that′s alright,
Cause it′s just feels good to me...
If I said I loved you
Would you stay around me
Or would you run
Scared of the power
Love can become
If i tried to hold you
Would i reach to find oyu gone
Will there be a day
When you stare at real love
And not turn away
I′ll feel the power
And be blinded by the light
I can touch the magic
That waits for us tonight
But you
You are Afraid
When we make love
It′s love that I make
But you are afraid
I′ll feel the power
And be blinded by the light
I can touch the magic
That waits for us tonight
But you
You are Afraid
When we make love
It′s love that I make
But you are afraid
Cos You
You are afraid
When we make love
It′s love that I make
But you are afraid
Afraid
(Hook)
I′m not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We′ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you′re not alone
Holla if you feel that you′ve been down the same road
(Intro)
Yeah, It′s been a ride...
I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If you′re trying to get out, just follow me
I′ll get you there
(Verse 1)
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay ′em
But you won′t take this thing out these words before I say ′em
Cause ain′t no way I′m let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say ′em or do something I do it, I don′t give a damn
What you think, I′m doing this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it′s gassed up, if a thing′s stopping me
I′mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I′m tearing down your balcony
No if ands or buts don′t try to ask him why or how can he
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he′s still shit and
Whether he′s on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shit′s his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He′s married to the game, like a fuck you for christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the earth he′s got the urge
To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the universe
(Hook)
I′m not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We′ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you′re not alone
Holla if you feel that you′ve been down the same road
(Verse 2)
Ok quit playin′ with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldn′t have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it′s a rap
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
For that fuck your feelings, instead of getting crowned you′re getting capped
And to the fans, I′ll never let you down again, I′m back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact
Let′s be
Just when it′s getting good
I slowly start to freeze
Just when it′s feeling real I put my heart to sleep
It′s the memory I can see
Then this fear comes over me
Understand that I don′t mean
To push you away from me
[Chorus]
Why am I so afraid to crash down and lose my heart again
I don′t know, I can′t see, what′s come over me
Why am I so afraid to break down and lose my mind again
I don′t know, I can′t see, what′s come over me
You got a way of easing me out of myself
I can′t stay but I can′t leave, I am my worst enemy
Please understand that its not you it′s what I do
Just when I′m about to run I realize what I′ve become
[Chorus]
Why am I so afraid to crash down and lose my heart again
I don′t know, I can′t see, what′s come over me
Why am I so afraid to break down and lose my mind again
I don′t know, I can′t see, what′s come over me
Now I wonder what you think of me
Don′t kow why I break so easily
All my fears are armed surrounding me
I can′t get no sleep
I keep runnin in circles around you
Are you the trap I wanna fall into??
[Chorus]
Why am I so afraid to crash down and lose my heart again
I don′t know, I can′t see, what′s come over me
Why am I so afraid to break down and lose my mind again
I don′t know, I can′t see, what′s come over me
Trying hard to be aware when I know the skys falling
Terror cried to me shes scared wanna run away but shes stalling
And the weather is strange it keeps raining everyday
Chorus:
I keep walking away from the place in the cage
Where I feel like Im stuck on the same path
I followed working hard to try and break the chain
Its better to see you, better to see you now
I got a feeling nothing will slow you
Always afraid
Does the pain you kill change the way you feel
Always afraid
I ran into a friend today
He wanted me to know you were sorry
I ddint know what to say
I want to hear your side of the story
-chorus-
