Afraid To Die
This is where we live, and this is where we stay forever
Here inside a comfort nest, peace can swallow pain
Digest it whole, and pass it on through honey stomachs, midguts of our lives
To do the work and get paid well before the sweat even dries
We have to make it so, even if we're afraid to die
There are places we won't go
We've built a cage in getting old
Remembering can lock you in
No going back, no matter when
We've got pictures in our heads:
Nostalgia without regret
The storm has flattened our wings
We've been waiting too long
"Give us hope", cried the strong
Nothing that obvious could ever be wrong
