Afraid Lyrics by The New Low

Continuance

2016

I fall asleep with my eyes wide open
So I won't miss a thing
Only God knows that I am broken
Only problem is we don't speak
(Don't let me die alone)
My mind is black but my dreams are golden
Tell me, what does it mean?
Are we lost to the lives we've chosen?
Born to die with no meaning
The longer it has, it grows inside of me
I am afraid
The darkness comes in waves, its suffocating me
I am afraid
Will I find my purpose or the person I should be?
I'm imperfect and trapped
I'm mostly a man who's prone to mistakes
Afraid to feel love or feel too closely
I'm scared to know that my heart break
I am afraid
The darkness comes in waves, its suffocating me
I am afraid
Will I find my purpose or the person I should be?
I built up walls to keep from feeling too close
But now I'm terrified to face this on my own
Words mean next to nothing when your fear's in control
So when the darkness comes, dont let me die alone
I am afraid
The darkness comes in waves, its suffocating me
I am afraid
Will I find my purpose or the person I should be?
