Afraid To Die

This is where we live
And this is where we stay forever
Here inside a comfort nest
Peace can swallow pain

Digest it whole
And pass it on through honey stomachs
Midgets of our lives

To do the work and get paid
Well before the sweat even dries
We have to make it so
Even if we’re afraid to die

There are places we won’t go
We’ve built a cage in getting old
Remembering can lock you in
No going back, no matter when

We’ve got pictures in our heads
Nostalgia without regret

The storm has flattened our wings
We’ve been waiting too long
Give us hope, cried the strong
Nothing that obvious could ever be wrong
