Scared To Live

Lyrics

[Hook] Seems we're scared to live So we hide from all we can Don't sit back and watch You don't know how much time you've got [Verse 1] The ceremonial hourglass sand depletes as fast as a boy grows to a man in a single parent home The end begins with refined aggression, lies and deceptions embedded in how we grow *** See, we've been sitting here just watching our time dissolve Constantly searching for brand new ways of staying lost Exactly how much does your integrity cost? *** His emotional baggage stayed stacked to the heavens Yet he fails to understand his past not to repeat it So he never gets the context of the lash No need to wait for the titans to clash to feel defeated *** See, we must take pride in the depths of our history Always embrace the unknown 'cause there's power in mystery I heard that misery loves company so please don't sing with me [Hook] Seems we're scared to live So we hide from all we can Don't sit back and watch You don't know how much time you've got [Verse 2] He wanted his friends to be his friends because they loved him for him, not what he could give or what they could take from him The skies were dim, shades of gray were all around Now walking the path he'd found to become him *** All I wanna do is love you as a brother and all I want is the same You gotta understand that my legacy goes a lot deeper than the likes of fame There's so much for us to lose but so much more to gain *** Finally found comfort in his own skin For once focused on progression since the madness begin But he wouldn't change a thing, not one piece of luggage Lugged around 'cause its weight molded him to a man *** If they bottled perfection picturesque, I wouldn't buy it 'cause mistakes form the shapes of life's various climates Now just image if we learned from half of 'em I dare you to try it [Hook] Seems we're scared to live So we hide from all we can Don't sit back and watch You don't know how much time you've got
