Song I'm Afraid To Write

This is the song I'm afraid to write

It might wake the dead

And maybe they were right

This is the dream I've never had before

We were safe and alone

Too much to ignore

What if they were right?

Maybe they were right?

This is the day they won't let me sing

I'm locked away and the warden is listening

This is the song I can never release

Demons at the gate

Who I can never please

What if they were right?

Maybe they were right?

I wrote this song in the absence of light

A barfly in a teacup

A husband without a wife

This is the song that saved my life

Now I'm free from being bitter

And chased by a knife

But I hear there's another side

They tell me there's another side

Gotta get to the other side

Will they hear my song on the other side

They're speaking in tongues on the other side

I'm not the only one on the other side
