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
