Fears

Stop and hold your stare
You can see that I shiver
It's a shame you won't be there
Lacking the sweet from the bitter

I know it's not forever
If I ever let it go
I've got to let it go

Wear a shade
I'll show you my light
Burst bright to the eyes
Dare yourself to come close
Don't be afraid for tonight
Hold my hand, grab the fears, throw them off a cliff
And see them blow
Hold my hand, drive me home, throw all the 'what if's
And see how it goes
Let's see how it goes

Stop and hold your gaze
See the crack on my armor
The fears had crept in
I'm in a daze
They left me shook in terror

I know it's not forever
If I ever let it go
I've got to let it go

You can see through the telescope
So full of hanging hopes
But once you figured out
You let it slide, you let it die

Burn the unlit bulbs
Guise all the broken glass
Fix them, bloody past
With dark tape, it's the new age

See through the telescope
The thin line of the rope
Once you reach out
Hold on to it, please savor it

I said,
I'll show you my light
Burst bright to the eyes
Dare yourself to come close
Don't be afraid for tonight
Hold my hand, grab the fears, throw them off a cliff
And see them blow
Hold my hand, drive me home, throw all the 'what if's
And see how it goes

See how we go from here
I need you to be near
See how we go from here
We've overcome the fears
