lyrics

'I’m not Afraid'


You’re not what I expected
A concept I can get behind
I wish that I had stayed
I’m not afraid,
May boredom never strike you
Between your unblinking eyes
From many paths I’ve strayed
Because I’m not afraid – I’m not afraid

Although I need to decide, need to decide
Need to decide what I am
Oh I need to decide, need to decide
Who or what I am

If only I was clever
Or had a modicum of common sense
I’m tired of the charade
Because I am afraid,
I shouldn’t even be here
But I’ve decided it can’t be helped
All my ends are frayed
Because I am afraid – I am afraid

Although I need to decide…

Meanings are lost on me
Mistakes of the last century resonating
Boredom and self defence
No refuge or recompense or release

My mind is always racing
Without a finish line in sight
At least I still get paid
I’m not afraid,
My empathy is waning
And so is my attention span
I’ve cancelled all the plans I’ve made
I’m not afraid – I’m not afraid

Although I need to decide, need to decide
Need to decide what I am
(4x)
