Don’t Be Afraid Lyrics by Platform 55

Don’t Be Afraid

2019

[Chorus]
Pen to paper feels like opening my brain right up
Pouring out the insides and serving them up
When I show you this song don't be afraid
When I show you this song don't run away

[Verse 1]
Introspection with reflection
My head acts as my protection
Seal it up tight, melt away the key
Broke the mold too, just to keep them free
Feel like no one really understands other than me
Should I be honest or just pretend that life's flawless?
Hide bones in my pocket choose a nicer, lighter topic
Honestly dishonesty seems like a better policy
Probably constantly just lying but unconsciously
It dissents and fights at times but I always just say I'm fine
Laughs and smiles on their faces seem like they are a good sign
Feel a smile also slowly start to creep up onto mine
Force myself to fall in line
Force myself to fall in line

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
Pen to paper feels like opening my brain right up
Pouring out the insides and serving them up
When I show you this song don't be afraid
When I show you this song don't run away

Pen to paper feels like opening my brain right up
Pouring out the insides and serving them up
When I show you this song don't be afraid
When I show you this song don't run away

[Verse 2]
As I stand alone in my forest and I'm just trying to be honest
I leave the pen in my pocket, I can’t hear anyone talking
Walking now, I hear some footsteps near me
Feel somehow, their eyes upon me judging
With pen out, I feel my mind's thoughts buzzing
Darker spots, through my fingers like flooding
Let the ink leak to a page, let the rest just leak out too
As the weight inside relaxes, new bulbs light and gather traction
Eyes and ears are opening up at my sides
Sign away the rights now can I trust them with my life?

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn the page again

[Chorus]
Pen to paper feels like opening my brain right up
Pouring out the insides and serving them up
When I show you this song don't be afraid
When I show you this song don't run away

Pen to paper feels like opening my brain right up
Pouring out the insides and serving them up
When I show you this song don't be afraid
When I show you this song don't run away

[Bridge]
As eyes and ears open up at my sides
I wonder if I can trust them
As eyes and ears open up at my sides
I wonder if I can trust them
As eyes and ears open up at my sides
I wonder if I can trust them
As eyes and ears open up at my sides
I wonder if I can trust them

[Chorus]
Pen to paper feels like opening my brain right up
Pouring out the insides and serving them up
When I show you this song don't be afraid
When I show you this song don't run away

Pen to paper feels like opening my brain right up
Pouring out the insides and serving them up
When I show you this song don't be afraid
When I show you this song don't run away
