We like to run away
When we don’t know what to say
Our words all fade to black
Our minds fail to realize
That our hearts are not to blame
For the pain we suffer each day
For the time not quite well spent
And the things we can’t help but say
And we carry on and on
Not quite sure of where we’re going
All we know is that we need to
Keep on moving
There’s no map to guide us now
There’s no compass or guide
In this mountain we are lost
In this ocean we are lost
I am nothing but a man
I am nothing but a bag of bones
I am lost inside this world
I am completely alone
I have no way back home
I lost my footing 8 months ago
All I hear is the voice of god
He tells me it’s not the end
He tells me not to be afraid
My life is valuable and has purpose
My life is not miserable and I am lovable
I will be happy one day
But still I am afraid
I am afraid of the things I haven’t done
And I am afraid of the things I did
I am afraid I will die full of regrets
And I am afraid I will die with no children
Or a lovely wife
Or a house on the countryside
I am afraid I will die a lonely and bitter old man
I am afraid
