Scared of Me Lyrics

The lurid light of morning sends a wicked waking blade

That bedroom blinds don't filter from another awkward day

She fumbles for forlorn ambition now democracy's darkly died

She heeded headlines, and guiling guidelines, to the point her trust was tried

In vain she tries to muster vigor and attempts to reel in faith

Her predominance is swiftly fleeting in her vacillating state

"Once I owned my dreams, like a starless planet in full autonomy"

"Once I owned my dreams, but now I'm scared of me"

The suppression shifts to high gear; an unnoticed notch in the shade

Only rapid rays of broadcasts now form a feint for the light of day

She wonders, when she still felt free, was there no urgency under the lies?

Or was the only choice coercion and had she simply shut her eyes?

In vain she tries to break the surface, and attempts to bare the facts

While the narrative gets parroted by the "experts" and the lax

"Once I loved my dreams, as they guarded me from despairing endlessly"

"Once I loved my dreams, but now I'm scared of me"

She fears for her fellow beings; in sullen silence they acquiesce

Myopic suffering in servitude to impositions the imposters finesse

How can she convince them to reclaim their right to freedom from this game

When others proudly police their brothers bearing self-righteous blame?

In vain she screams as in a nightmare and attempts to wake the flock

Puzzled why we've let us slide into this Prison of the Lost

"Awakened from my dreams, now my fears have fledged into living imagery"

"Awake or so it seems, and now I'm scared of me"
