Scared to Think

Featured Replies

So many people scared to think

Afraid of what it might get them

Terrified that a lie,

An untruth, is what they loved

 

Standing still on a hill 

That gets them

Nothing

That gets me

Angry

That gets me

It really does

 

How could the truth scare you down like that

She ain't ever hurt nobody

No you hurt yourself

Giving into what was wrong

Because it sounded like a sweet song

But was poison all along

And it left you for dead

And now look at ya 

In over your head

Wake up!

You're not gone

 

But the longer you prolong

The more you resist

You become a mark

To be picked off

To be dissed

And not missed

And when the shit

Hits the fan

You'll be doing all you can

 

Tryin' to figure out why 

All the lies left you behind

'Cause your behind didn't mind

When they wrapped up your mind

And said what you think is mine

And you let them redefine

All the lines and curves

 

And for that you hurt

For that it's much worse

 

But if you put the truth first

You lift off the curse

 

Instead of being brought to the brink

But first... you gotta think
