What are you so afraid of?
Why won't you look me in the eye?
Why are you so unwilling
To show anyone that you cry?
Why do you lay down before her heavy, monstrous, ugly, feet
Why can't you find the stars among the sheets of pouring sleet?
What are you so afraid of?
When love's up in your face
Why can't you show these special ones
How much you admire their grace?
You're so scared of falling
That you don't even try to stand
Why can't you feel my body calling
For the warmth of your hand.
Why can't you speak your mind without
Putting everyone to sleep
Why can't you have charisma
And gain attention you want to keep
Why are you so closed up all the time?
And why are you so selfish?
Why are the only tears that leave your eyes
Procured by your own pain.
Why are you so afraid
to think outside the lines?
THat have been etched and deepend for years
Within your frightened mind?
Why are you so afraid to accept?
And so afraid to question
The only ones who count in this world
Are the ones who don't fear redemption.
As we choose what genes we want to continue
The blood to pump through our children
We indirectly know
What sill stop where, when, and why
And we decide not to try.
