When I Was Afraid

Time kept me 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
