Fear is a choice, danger is real, but fear is a choice.


When you're young

You don't really need to think 

The path is clear

like you could break out and sing

When you get older 

I warn you, this will change

Life as you have it today

It will never be the same

Ironically enough, 

You never have enough time

You keep secrets 

And you hide your shine

Worrying about what others think

You never say the truth

To hide your insecurities 

You'd rather lie through your teeth

As time goes on

You start to lose yourself

You forget your morals 

And end up needing help

You'll look back on the good old days

Thinking how carefree you were

Wish it was the same

But you were caught in a frame

Trust me,

I want to say

That one day 

It'll change

You'll get back what you lost

But that isn't the case

So start to make your new ways

pick up your ghost 

and throw it away

Look towards the future 

You start to think 

When we grow up 

It'll change things 

Yes this is true 

Trust me you'll get though 

Everyone is going through the same thing

So pick yourself up

And start to sing
