My Fear
Inhale the musk of defeat
A strangers hand held out for the weak
A voice carving symbols in the sand
Carry away my soul to distant lands
I can wake up anytime
But this life Is mine
I know one day I'll have my time to shine
As long as I can make the words rhyme
I wonder if I'll ever be as beautiful as October
When the seasons change
Maybe I'll get sober
I don't know where to go with all these lines
I just hope that warmth In my voice cuts like daylight
My history is short
I like to think I live for something more
Than a paycheck
Than a title
Than credit report
Someday these words will comfort you
I know because they're the only thing to keep me glued
Casting little echoes in the shadow of this sound
I'd like to keep on dreaming
Though I can't sing out
When someone's around
