lyrics

How goes your night
How was your day
Are you afraid
Like im afraid
You sleep with lamp
I sleep with mates
And keep it dark
For others’ sake
Are you afraid
Like I’m afraid
I weren’t afraid
But I’m afraid
I’m seeking light
But see the shade
I’m seeking life
But see the grave
It’s dark at night
And in the day
I look outside
It’s all so grey
All so white
And all so pale
And also black
What’s in the mail
Another debt
Another bill
I’ll write my will
My self to kill
But then again
I’m asking you
Wondering what
You’ve been up to
If you’re afraid
Like I’m afraid
And you start saying
Things I say
Right back at me
Right in my face
How goes my night
Well it’s okay
How goes my day
Some went away
Some went my way
It’s how it goes
It’s still alive
Survived the ghost
Outran the beast
Outlived the shame
Outside of me
They know my name
But not my life
And not my pain
But nor do I
We’re all the same
At times afraid
But face it brave
With you beside
I’ll see the day
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
