I was ruled by fear, i was ruled by standing in the dark
Whatever it justifies, it's where nobody dares to tread
It's the fondest thought, it's a place to start all over again
Whatever our differences are, they're where nobody dares to tread
I was always faced with bricks and stones
Caught up in the midst, a place and time
I was ruled by fear, in the dark
Bending myself just to catch a glimpse
Whatever it takes, it's all on me
See the faces, traces, in the dark
Turn the focus, reek inside, far from the dark
Whatever my feelings were, i can go back and go back in time
There's no weight or sound in shame, it's a fine place to dwell
If i made my peace with god, you'll be sorry to side for one
I was always faced with bricks and stones
Caught up in the midst, a place and time
I was ruled by fear, in the dark
I'm no stranger, to the ways of the world
Watch me pick up the shards of myworst day
If i led you astray, thats a leap of faith
It's the underachiever, stuck in the dark
I was always facedwith bricks and stones
Caught up in the midst, a place and time
I was ruled by fear, in the dark
