Afraid

It’s hard to picture a world
Where you’re not there
I call your name
It hangs in the humid air
Three cheers for the guardians
The ones that got us here
Their days are numbered
Fuck it feels so unfair
Life’s a morbid affair
Get used to it
Put your hands on my body
Remind me I’m still here
It’s no one’s fault
It’s everyone’s crime
There’s no use in hindering
The hands of time
Can I be afraid
And still be free?
I am afraid
What will become of me?
We all want heat
But we don’t like fire
What if these offenses
Are secret desires?
A bloody fool
Is all I see
Staring straight back at me
Can I be afraid
And still be free?
I am afraid
What will become of me?

I’m trying to get mad
But I’m afraid of anger
Oh what will I do
If I stop feeling sorry and blue?
My thoughts are flaming red
This party’s now a rager
Cannot see ahead
Been by myself for months and months on end
Your face looks awfully nice from here
I’ve got it in my memory where I can see it clear
You tell me, “Martha’s Vineyard must be kinda nice around this time of year.”
Seasick in a storm
Yeah that would be my preference
To staying lame and warm
I live the same day over and over and over
But your face looks awfully nice from here
I’ve got in in my memory where I can see it clear
You tell me, “Martha’s Vineyard must be kinda nice around this time of year.”
I dream of when you sang to me about the Eastern Shore
I played along until my long white fingers became sore
And when we spoke of troubled times
I cried there on the floor
I think of when you told me that I should not get married
You told me I was naughty
Didn’t end it with a wink
And I shouted “you’re not worthy”
And you drank it like a poison
Didn’t speak to me for weeks
