Songtexte AFRAID - Andy Jack

I've been running from the voices in my brain
That tell me every single day that I will never be the same
And it's insane
To think I'd ever find a way
To pave a way for brighter days
To find a way to ease the pain
But yet I stay
Cause if I win then I remain
But if I lose then I can say
I tried my best to seize the day
And I got paid
To chase my dream from second grade
God I know I should've prayed
Tried my best but I'm afraid

And I don't really know how to start
It's hard to see the light when you're so used to the dark
And every step I take feels like walking through the flames
While the demons in my head keep on calling out my name
Every promise that I've made slowly crumbles in my hands
And the dreams that used to drive me are slipping like the sand
I've lost inside a battle that I never thought I'd fight
I'm tryna find a reason but the demons might be right
Yeah
They keep on saying that there's no end to this
Every path that I take will only lead me to emptiness
They keep me second guessing thoughts inside my head
From the moment that I wake up to the moment I'm in bed
They give me jack
Cause when it's like that
It's like one step forward but five steps back
And I don't really know how I'm supposed to react
When the demons show me hell it's just a mirror looking back

I've been running from the voices in my brain
That tell me every single day that I will never be the same
And it's insane
To think I'd ever find a way
To pave a way for brighter days
To find a way to ease the pain
But yet I stay
Cause if I win then I remain
But if I lose then I can say
I tried my best to seize the day
And I got paid
To chase my dream from second grade
God I know I should've prayed
Tried my best but I'm afraid
And I
I been running but I'm tired of the pain
I hope god can hear my cries and help me break free of the chains
Cause it's insane
To keep on fighting everyday
I just want peace, I wanna smile
Without the fear that it will fade
Yet still I stay
Hoping god can make a way
And if I'm wrong
Please forgive for all my sins
All my mistakes
I don't need fame
Just wanna feel like I'm okay
God I know I should've prayed
Tried my best but I'm afraid.
