Lyrics
Why do you look away, every time that dark figure?s here?
What is it that I don?t know, make me understand.
If you?re too scared to tell me in the open,
I will make the time.
Tell us where to go, tell us what to do
But all we fear is dying.
All we need to know is enough to get us by,
So finish and toss us aside.
I apologize, cause I cannot be scared with you,
But you?re not all alone if you stare down the fear.
If you?re too afraid to fight it by yourself,
Then I will lend a hand.
Tell us where to go, tell us what to do
But all we fear is dying.
All we need to know is enough to get us by,
So finish and toss us aside.
Why do you step aside and let your life be lived for you?
Grab yourself by the throat until you learn to fight your demons.
I cannot turn and walk away though we all fight alone.
Do it by yourself!
Tell us where to go, tell us what to do
But all we fear is dying.
All we need to know is enough to get us by,
So finish and toss us aside.
Finish and toss us aside.
