Afraid from Devilment by messyheads

‘Afraid?’

Once again, your quiet heart's been trampled down.
A brave face, and cold breakfast cigarette light your day.
Flying out of windows thoughts land wherever you gaze. They fall and wait.
Some kinda blues – know the tragedy in your rage. Afraid?

Afraid?
Afraid?
I'm not afraid.

In chains, your torn-out secrets beaten around.
There’s no escape, but that's not what your horoscope said.
Late, I found out what I never told you, and my big mouth.
You’re still alone, well '2 lane blacktop' will bring you around.
I know who my friends are 'cos they never went away. No way.
You add the man who would be king, as you count up trophies instead. Are you afraid?

Afraid?
Afraid?
Well I'm not afraid.

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, there I'll find my place, someday.
Stayed up night after night to see what I'd find - just some days. I beat the maze.
Now nothingness surrounds but the ghost of a crowd, I'm mislaid – a shade.
I'm trying to know less and understand more, feel my way.

Are you afraid?
Well it’s OK, don’t feel ashamed.
Cos’ I was afraid.

To everyone something different, moving quick, stay ahead’s what you play.
Just do one thing you say that you're gonna do and amaze! Don't be afraid.
