SONG: I'm Afraid (feat. Sole and Adeem) AUTHOR: Sage Francis Nobody likes me I've got nothing funny to say And they're gonna find out what I really believe in Well how about we trade stories about relationships and worries I'm afraid of seeing things clearer Everything's blurry I'm scared of the dark With the idea of being alone And I'm being brave in the eyes of a mirror Whistling in harmony Breaking bones in the grove I know nothing But that's better than not acknowledging From here you're hearing my laughter Laughter's my escape But I really have no idea I have no breathe to take Inhale, while my options are still alive Walking through the valley of life hummingly shout suffice At this point at the ceasing endlessness I'm still afraid she doesn't love me as much as her new man and kids I'm afraid I left her in the blizzard to die So I'm questioning the whos, the befores, the answers, and the whys I'm not concerned that my awareness has been heightened I'm really not scared, just a little bit frightened. I'm not concerned that my awareness has been heightened I'm really not scared, just a little bit… I'm afraid Adeem doesn't always know his bars I'm afraid I'm a big superstar I'm afraid that my penis is too big I'm afraid that I'm never gonna have kids I'm afraid that this is the fifth bar I'm afraid I'm scared of nothing, reverse psychology taking over my intimidation With living and sitting when I have a destination Well deserved lesson learned My fingers avoid any objects with colors The difference might be allergic to any difference possessed by me I can't count past three Large amounts frighten me Close my eyes want to be enlightened Shattered a mirror now luck has run away 6 years 364 days of grace Can't begin due to my fear of premature ending Planning to be the same abstract I wasn't raised like that Cover your mouth and wrap your surroundings Head is pounding from deep thoughts Hope that I'm not the one that will get caught Dark water is my enemy and boats make me nervous Watch my pronunciation just to be courteous Have nightmares about everyone else's opinion And some way I'm intimidated by women and little children No questions, cause I have no answers I hold my breath waiting for god to enlighten me and give me cancer Never the leader followers have no face obsess my image Walking lines put me in a better place Race to the middle I can't make a decision Afraid that while I'm driving the key will fall out the ignition The finish is invisible with so many more miles to travel Only walk in the daytime cause im afraid of my own shadow I'm scared of writing songs about what I'm afraid of Emotionally I'm in a paradox because I hate love And I laugh at tears Absence stares at me and sees I'm present I'm scared of being wrapped up in fluorescent lighting Fighting fears about facial flaws I never practice my vertical cause breaking nature's laws Might be more scarier than proving wrong social construct Reaching for insurance I put my arms up Wave it side to side but then I was afraid You wouldn't think I would've cared No I'm not scared I'm terrified
