when i was afraid

time kept me in line
kept me defined
it kept me safe when i was afraid
kept me in line
kept me defined
it kept me sane when i was afraid

counting the days
pacing the sky
holding every breath i had left in time

gravity, i can’t forget
you saved my hide a thousand ways
gravity, i can’t forgive
you let me go
i fell away when i was afraid

falling away
out into space
losing all my breath when i was afraid

love, it held me near
you held me close
i couldn’t die when i was afraid
you held me close
i couldn’t die
i couldn’t live when i was afraid

fear was mine
fear was by my side
it kept me well
hell, it kept me alive
i counted days as they faded away
i only felt sane when i was afraid
