You're so afraid
You're so afraid of what you don't know
Whether it's love to come, or life and death, or understanding happiness you're afraid
Sometimes there's no good reason
It's just the way she goes
People grow up through seasons
And suddenly your old
You ever wonder if facts could talk
Would they speak for themselves?
If we could add religion into science
Would things be clearer then?
Just like how music changes
From Brahms to Kanye
So do our explanations
From God to the big bang
We're throwing darts in the dark again now
To talk away our fear
And try to justify our living
Pretend we're meant to be here
Is there a bigger story?
Or something else at play?
Is fate to be believed in
When chance has a say?
Dreaming in black and white recently
Confuse the days with nights
And hope that we'll live on forever
Too beautiful to die
I said you're so afraid
I said you're so afraid of what you don't know
Because you hate your life
But you're afraid to die
You're just stuck existing for a little while stay afraid
I think the gods are mortal
The immortals are men
As their living through their death
Dying's how our life's spent
We like to think we have the answers
That we were in control
When everything stopped being nothing
When nothing became more
I look to Will Toledo
When I need some support
I take him on my shoulder
The angels missing of course
He told me I went down for a little too long, it's time to right the course
I never wrote a line to respond to this but the verse still works
I said we're so afraid
I said we're so afraid of what we don't know
Because we hate our lives, but we're afraid to die, we're just stuck existing for a little while
Stay afraid
