Fearless

When the lights dim, there I will stand
You shriek a devil, but it's merely crimson penance
And I'm not afraid of promises plagued to burn
Cuz mistakes never made will never give me strength to learn

All the doors shut; I stand on the ledge
Though they try, they can't kill what's already dead
Romance is blind, but I will not fear
Who needs sight when you hear the things I hear?

Unveil the carnival; the master show
Smoke and mirrors make things so much clearer
You claim I cheat, write it off as illusion
But you trust your sight, though it so clouds your judgment

Do you see it?
Right before your eyes I disappear
Can you face it?
Or will you live your life in fear?

When the lights dim, I'll be there to light your candle
The chance never taken bleeds to mourn, dripping from my nails
But I'm not afraid of not finding love
I've been on my own for far too long
And I'm not afraid of spreading these wings
For now all fear is gone

Do you see it?
I swear it's no illusion
I am right here but you can't even see
You trusted your eyes, not what you felt inside
And now everything is different

No!
I will not fear for loss
My courage won't be shot by your firing squad
Turn to verse 4:13 and learn to be free
Darling,

nothing's like before

When the lights dim, there we all stand
Try as you might
but you can't
kill
what's
already dead
