Night After Night I walk these halls Frightened Anyone could be in here I wouldn't even know it People could be watching me I could be murdered But nothing ever happens I just scare myself One day ill kill myself One day the persistent anxiety will get to me and get to me good I yearn for naïveté I would be less afraid of Everything When you're young You know little You're fearless I want to be fearless But nothing every happens, I'm always safe and sound But I want something to happen, I want to experience everything I yearn for naïveté But also for wisdom Mother says to never fear Because God is with me But really, the only thing to fear Is my imagination God can't protect me from myself Night after night I imagine Horrible, terrible things My memory like an elephants Replaying previous sights The anxiety I would never wish that upon anyone The anxiety Night after night
