This life starts with a heartbeat   Is it beat, beat, beat, beat, beating me down   Like the loser I am?      I can't help but to see   That success scares the living shit outta me   Like the loser I am      Every time I walk away   Every word I ever say      Restless, chasing shadows   Choices, facing gallows pole   Are you hanging by a thread   Or swinging from the rope?      Don't think we don't see your scars   Are you afraid of who you are?   Are you afraid of who you are?      Denial, a subtle burn   Is it burn, burn, burn, burn, burning me out   Or feeding the flames?      Spread out the ash, pretend to see   That you can still find some value in me   Or just feed the flames      Every time I walk away   Every word I'd ever say      Restless, chasing shadows   Choices, facing gallows pole   Are you hanging by a thread   Or swinging from the rope?      Don't think we don't see your scars   Are you afraid of who you are?      Oh my God, what am I afraid of   Success or not having what it takes?   Oh my God, I am afraid of me   And everything that brings      Restless, chasing shadows   Choices, facing gallows pole   Are you hanging by a thread   Or swinging from the rope?      Don't think we don't see your scars   Are you afraid of who you are?   Afraid of who you are   Are you afraid of who you are?
