Help me find the courage inside
to not run from the fears and lies,
The path ahead is so very long,
It hard to believe I was even this strong.

Creatures always come out at night
I'm holding my demons in so tight.

This can't be right,
where is my home?
something's wrong
I need to go..

The Fire beats within my heart
tho the silence can only go so far.

This isn't heaven
or where I belong,
this is a world
where we don't get along.

Finding courage
in a place like this,
the thought of it just makes me sick.

how can I do this on my own,
when it seems like everyone leaves me alone?

Well I guess that's why I have to be brave
so I can create these better days.
Such ones where people can smile.
You could even learn to let your guard down awhile.

By facing these fears
I must swallow my pride,
for how can I keep living
if I chose to hide?

No more running.
I'm done with it all,
I'm facing these problems
by taking them head on.
