Afraid Lyrics

Seeking out in others what I deny that I lack

Not willing to spin the mirror round

Mechanism of defence that only serves to attack

This armour only weighs me down

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Who will you be when your age comes?

Never carried myself as me for all my fears

You couldn't even get me to play the drums

Am I afraid of you?

Am I afraid of you?

Am I afraid?

On your way to the pearly gates

Is far too late to speak your truth

One of these days you're going to say

That I'm not ambitious enough for you

If I had your brain

I'd want to make the most of myself too

But things they change

I used to want to be clever

Make my life better

Oh whatever you take

You make it sacred

And though I wait

I can't stop letting you down

Am I afraid of you?

Am I afraid of you?

Am I afraid?

Acceptance of defeat so I can't lose

Tell you that I eat so you don't bruise

And all the while you're in denial

You can't digest that I'll never heal my wounds

Am I afraid of you?

Intimidated by you?

Am I afraid?

Am I just ashamed?

Am I afraid?

Am I afraid?
