night verses from night verses by Jai Mohan

i'm more afraid than i can say
that i'll run out of ideas one day
that the songs in my head will pause
and my pen will still and i'll sing no more

i'm scared of stagnation and staying the same
i'm afraid to lose that old creative flame
i'm terrified of the odds
that i'll lose my creativity to my mental war

i'm scared i'll soon regret
not writing down the night verses
and the shower melodies
and the ideas for lyrics that come to me
when i'm trying to sleep

i'm scared of losing what makes me, me

of losing my voice
'cause i'm only a boy
with a song on my tongue
i'm less than anyone

and if i don't sing i won't be loved
anymore

i'm scared one day my pen will still and i will sing no more

i'm more afraid than i can say
that i'll run out of ideas one day
