Ryan Nordstrom - Afraid Lyrics

Dirt in my lungs
I can feel my blood
Flow in my veins
But it's not enough

When I was free
Sensation gripped me
I could feel the pain
And I miss that sting

Of cold regret
I'd rather forget

Now I don't know how to live in this body
I can't get any kind of rest
(I will take what I can get)

I can breathe shallow breaths just enough
To keep my head up above the waves
But not enough to be afraid

Now fear is something you don't get, you don't grasp until you live
With eyes that see the pain
(In your heart and in your shame)

Glory's what I'm reaching for
To feel the weight, I'm at Your door
Keep me awake
Awake enough to be afraid

I am done hiding
My walls coming down
It's time to live
To come up from the ground

And it's terrifying
But it's where I should be
Living free
To be afraid
