Torment and terror of a different kind
A changed breed of the unexpected you see

Life isn't fair! Why yes of course life isn't fair
Life isn't easy just because you simply wish it to be

We blame the older generation for their hatred of the unknown
We've learned to always fear the unknown
We can only believe in what we understand, right?

Wrong! Belief is a choice of faith in what is not known
Taking that leap, that first step
Embracing the darkness to shine new light

We can't expect ourselves to stray away from our problems
Wish away our mistakes or hide away from our fears

Doing the same thing over expecting different results...
That's what is tormenting and terrorizing

We must not stand idly by expecting our lives to be fulfilling
How can we, when we fear not making a decision

Take that step to make change
That leap of faith to make something great

Acknowledge the unknown and embrace it
