Life Doesn't Frighten Me At All

The dark, night sky
The fear in their eyes
Life doesn’t frighten me at all
The ghost that haunts
The clown that taunts
Life doesn’t frighten me at all

Their vicious words
Their undefined slurs
Life doesn’t frighten me at all
Their aggressive hands
Their conspicuous plans
Life doesn’t frighten me at all

I go boo
Their frighten too
I feel strong
Powerful of those among
They shudder
Hear my wings flutter
Alas, I’m free
Their afraid of me
Life doesn’t frighten me at all

Being alone
Not having a home
Life doesn’t frighten me at all
The child’s screams
Knowing what secrets mean
No, they don’t frighten me at all

Losing myself
Heart on a shelf
Pushing away
Afraid to stay
They don’t frighten me at all

Don’t abandon me please
Look at me break down
I’m begging on my knees
But don’t pity or frown

Afraid of my dreams
My only escape
Hear my horrid screams
Cover my mouth with tape

Life doesn’t frighten me at all
Not at all
Not at all
Life doesn’t frighten me at all
