Afraid,
Afraid to live
Afraid to touch, to feel
Afraid to take off your hands
And show your beautiful smile
Afraid to be seen, to be admired!
Afraid to crawl, to clutch the ground
Afraid to get up, to rise
After they beat you,
After you have been crushed!
Afraid to fall, and hit the bed
Afraid to close your eyes, to dream
Cause you are afraid…
Afraid, that when you wake up
You will live on a nightmare
So why risk?
Why fall asleep
When you can stay awake!

Always self conscious, always safe
Close to insomniac madness
Never dreaming,
Always awake, always afraid…
