Don'T Be Afraid

An opinion falling like rain Cascading over everything A center point of chaotic felony Delete your voice They're coming for you again Pound the pavement Pound on the walls There's nowhere to go They know the way it flows Paste pastel words over your mouth When everything goes south Those words aren't your own They're prettied up lies Spat by the callous kind An intricate existence built up By a foundation of broken verse A wobble here and a wobble there Everything is falling apart There's nowhere for you to restart Dodge the bullets, dodge the train Your chest erupts in pain Perhaps all this was in vain And you'll slowly go insane The words are falling all around you Drenching your clothes and your mind There's no escape from the apes So tape over the paper cuts Blossoming in your heart Just don't be afraid
