Fear of falling
From the safety of your prison
But if you don't go
Then all you do is wait to
Watch you close your eyes
And pray for your salvation
Even though you know your
Angels don't dare come for you
Dreaming of the day you find me
Drifting down the road to nowhere
Headlights in our eyes
From all the people going wrong
They illuminate
Your hollow hopes of rescue
Free yourself but let me
Tell you that it's gonna hurt
This fear of failure
Disappointment, disapproval lays you low
So while you're down there close your eyes
Give in and back to sleep you go
Chains keep you firmly grounded
When you could reach out and spread your wings
But don't you worry we will
Keep you safe from all those greater things
All of those nightmare dreams of change
And all the fears that you'll be more
Those burdens heavy on your shoulders
Tell me what you need them for
So then what happens if you try
And if your wings they burn to ash
Will you find comfort in the thought
You tried to soar before the crash
There's no need to explain
'Cause I can see the storm clouds up ahead
Rollin' in with open arms
They've come to take you home
Watch you bleed in black and red
Colours pour from all your dreams undone
Such a foolish child I said
They'd help you swim to shore
But now you've seen too much
And there's no going back for you
So when the road back home is lost
The only way is through
So trust me now
The only way out
Just take a breath and swim straight down
No need to fear
No need to worry
Just take my hand and you won't drown
Free yourself
Fly beyond
Can't you see what's up ahead
