Fear

We were dreaming
And drifting
And barely
Existing
I was gonna say I miss you,
but my train cut me off

I notice the silence more than I used to

And I'm just a ghost with a defeatist view

But nothing just gets better on its own
If you give in to fear every moment it'll only grow

I remember what it's like not to know
Not to care
And be unaware
That all these walls that I built for protection
They just keep me scared
And you were looking for me
And I could see you from inside
But I'd just stare
Like I'm not really there
I've been stranded for so long
And you're the flare
That I never shoot
That I never shoot
That I never shoot
That I never shoot

But this time
For some reason
I just decided to
