When you plan for the worst You keep yourself safe but you risk closing yourself off from the best
There is so much to life and exploring it puts you at risk It's easy to get jaded and close yourself off
But when you live in the dark seeing danger everywhere you will never get to see the beauty in life
Expecting the worst might keep you alive But when you expect the best That's when you get to live
When I began I was terrified The path was unknown
Life can be chaos fear, anger, destruction It tears you down and threatens to overwhelm
Everything was beautiful Bright, happy, colorful Full of sparkling, magical wonder I started to smile again Thought that maybe I could fit in And the joy would chase away the thunder Gone were the storms I’d known for so long And I believed with my whole being that I could belong
Something small and simple cuts deep tearing you apart, piece by piece You struggle to recover and understand But thinking is like sculpting with dry sand
Time moves forward always ticking away and with it, the world changes little by little every day
When people say hello You shrink away Scared of messing up You look for an escape
I know what it's like to feel like you don't belong To feel like you're the only one who doesn't know the words to the song
They are my moths I am their flame They are never far away
The waves get higher crashing all around me I lost sight of the port amidst the raging sea
