I once was afraid of myself,
Now it's myself that I need,
I once couldn't live inside of myself,
Now it's on the outside that I yearn to bleed,

Sticks and stones will never break these bones...

Extinguishing this haunt,
Is easier than you think,

But I'm not afraid of being alone anymore,
No I'm not afraid of being alone...

Tired of being a victim of a poisoned mind- not this time,
I'll take on a useful masochistic edge- don't be scared,

A dream that slips away leads to a life of slow decay...

Extinguishing this haunt,
Is easier than you think,
Excited by the fear...

Excited by the fear!

A pale eyelid opens,
A paler moon hums softly,
A once powder-blue sky turns into a shadowy spy.

Awakening this haunt,
Can lead you to your dreams,
The irony's not lost,
On those who stand tall,

(Fear is just a fool who lingers, cannot put your finger...)
On those who stand tall!
