Afraid
Look at me, what do you see?
I see nothing, just a shell
Ask me what I want to be
I'll have nothing much to tell
Take a knife and slash my throat
I won't bleed or even blink
I don't drown, my corpse will float
But I know my mind will sink
I don’t ever like to speak
So, I sit and watch the sky
Who knew nights, so dark and bleak
Would befriend a lonely guy?
I see home between the clouds
Knowing that I will atone
Hate to live amongst the crowds
But afraid to die alone
