I haven't been in love for what seems like too long I've fallen in love with the sound of silence ringing where affection stands In the absence of it all, I feel a numb ache of sorts, clawing for attention And I start to wonder if those who told me I rely on relationships were right I used to fear this feeling like a child in the dark, But I'm used to the lack of light now And if anything, I'm afraid to see fear seep back into my view for the fact that it might be bigger than I think The fear of the unknown is the only fear I've known for some time If I'm not careful, I might flood into too many feelings And slip in the darkness I've learned to stand still in If I tiptoe lightly around the edges of my mind If I stay out of the light I've kept inside Will I be safe(r)? Will I be dry? I know I haven't been calm for some time But I've been moving so fast that I've learned not to look twice at how I'm actually reacting I've been so scared, but only behind the curtain And I've hidden so well, I hope I never come out

Dismay? I do.
I haven't been in love for what seems like too long I've fallen in love with the sound of silence ringing where affection stands In the absence of it all, I feel a numb ache of sorts, clawing for attention And I start to wonder if those who told me I rely on relationships were right I used to fear this feeling like a child in the dark, But I'm used to the lack of light now And if anything, I'm afraid to see fear seep back into my view for the fact that it might be bigger than I think The fear of the unknown is the only fear I've known for some time If I'm not careful, I might flood into too many feelings And slip in the darkness I've learned to stand still in If I tiptoe lightly around the edges of my mind If I stay out of the light I've kept inside Will I be safe(r)? Will I be dry? I know I haven't been calm for some time But I've been moving so fast that I've learned not to look twice at how I'm actually reacting I've been so scared, but only behind the curtain And I've hidden so well, I hope I never come out
At this moment, this is the most I can let out without letting loose.
