Fear and Fate

My momma told me
Life is a dream
Cut in a river
Lost in a stream
Drift away

My father told me
Search far and wide
Walk down that empty road
From a fate you can't hide
On my way
Tell me, let it slide down

I'm running from this darkness inside me
This hole deep inside of my mind
And I know
It's time for me to let it all go and try

Momma told me
Count as you will
Far as you sail, I've been
Living will fade away bad
Fade to black

I'm running from this darkness inside me
This hole deep inside of my mind
And I know
It's time for me to let it all go and try

Day after day
(Good father, I don't wanna feel alive in that tunnel)
Time slips away
My whole life's wasted
Time's erased it
It's all into the black
It's all into the black

My momma told me
Life was a dream
Lost in the chaos, was that payoff worth to me?
And I look back, and through the years
Fade to black

Done running from this darkness inside me
What's left deep inside of my mind
And I know
It's time for me to let it all go and try
