Is it okay to say I'm scared?
It's funny, just funny how time manages your expectations
and your time management experiences alterations
you aren't prepared for. But that's what time is there for.
Time is not only recognition of how long the sun has risen,
not just a number representing the measurement in rhythm,
Time is a teacher.
A teacher waiting for my fear to disappear.
See, I want to be free from fear, but fear is free.
Is it okay to say I'm scared?
Because I've been drowning in this apprehension,
consumed in this frightening tension.
Just consumed and drowning, trying to find reason in this lesson.
But it's hard, completely far from astounding.
And where's the fun in
drowning in water before thirty minutes after consumption?
It's okay to say I'm scared.
But along the road paved with fear
it's clear that there's no room for surrender
and I am a contender, a fighter. Fighting for sovereignty,
But it's liquid.
I'm drowning in it and my vision is weary
but the things you're scared of are most worthwhile, just a theory.
