Fears

How can it be that you can miss
what you have never known?
How can it be that you can grieve
what light has never shown?
The fear I hide, deep inside
uncertainty has grown.
And in the end, yet once again
I know I’m all alone.

Time and time again I feel
as if my heart will never heal.
Time and time again I try
but broken wings can never fly.
Time and time again I fall
and wonder why I try at all.

The fear inside won’t let me be
The pain I hide won’t let me see
I’m trapped by my uncertainty,
Reflecting what’s inside of me.

How can it be that you can lose
what never was your own?
How can it be you mourn a death
of what was never sown?
Every day, I run away
to hide my heart in stone.
But in the end, though I pretend,
I know I’m still alone.

Time and time again I feel,
as if my wounds can never heal.
Time and time again I cry,
yet fear the longing for the sky.
Time and time again I crawl,
pretending not to hear the call.

The fear inside won’t let me be
The chains that bind won’t set me free
I’m trapped by insecurity,
Reflecting what’s inside of me.

Light in Darkness, Dark in Light
Neither wrong, yet neither right
I stand alone against the Night,
To dare my broken wings in flight.
