Terrified
once upon a time
there was a light inside of me
it was refined
to fit the rule sof society
ensared, entrapped, entombed
by my past
can't escape, can't run away
from his trap
But i, i am the hurricane
they told me, i can't withstand
and i, i'll need the strength
to go on
but know this, cause i know this
i'm terrified
what's lost can't be found
it's never to late to turn back around
what's done is done
can't undo his crimes
but i can at least try
i am a storm blowing through this life
taking with me, all my own tradegy
and i, i'll need the strength
to carry on
but know this, cause i know this
i'm terrified
of what's next
of who's there
behind me
i can't see
i'm terrified
of my past
that he's gone
somewhere
i can't follow
but i, i know i am strong
despite the scars of his words
and i, i will go on
even though i know i'm terrified
