I'm terrified
I lose my mind when I see you broken
I close my eyes
There's a parasite
In the air
My mind can't stay open
For more than a moment or two
Back at it and you're knowing that you're done for
Peaked around the corner so it goes on your fun tour
Making each stop a little check mark please
The moment is assuming that is ain't big tease
But you're spinning in the sand
Backing up the band
Low and so you spend every moment in the can
And your face is on the asphalt
Never taking fault
But really think about the motives that you have when your mouth talks
Really you're the one making silence in the crowd
When the pied piper asks to make a scene with a sound
You still keep quite because your hearts is long past
Any moment that you had, is now formed into a task
I'm terrified
I lose my mind when I see you broken
I close my eyes
There's a parasite
In the air
My mind can't stay open
For more than a moment or two
I'm underwhelming, but just tell me what you're so afraid of
I'm afraid of leaving life unfinished
Go to sleep. never wake, turning souls into statistics
Afraid of friendship never coming back to life
Watching time tear us away and we're never asking why
Afraid of moving on, off to bigger better things
When I'm happy where I am, even if it's just a phase
Afraid of gaining trust just to lose it all again
Relating to the circles painted all across my face
So I'm hopeless, but I'm comfortable here
Try to find the poetry in being open with fear
Because having life with a purpose is subjective all the same
When I'm down and feeling out my moral aids a blank page
I'm terrified
I lose my mind when I see you broken
I close my eyes
There's a parasite
In the air
My mind can't stay open
For more than a moment or two
I'm underwhelming, but just tell me what you're so afraid of
I'm fixing my pride
