When I Was Afraid

When I Was Afraid
Time kept me line
Kept me defined
It kept me safe when I was afraid
Kept me in line
Kept me defined
It kept me sane when I was afraid

Counting the days
Pacing the sky
Holding every breath I had left in time
Gravity, I can't forget
You saved my hide a thousand ways
Gravity, I can't forgive
You let me go
I fell away when I was afraid
Falling away
Out into space
Losing all my breath when I was afraid
Love, it held me near
You held me close
I couldn't die when I was afraid
You held me close
I couldn't die
I couldn't live when I was afraid
Fear was mine
Fear was by my side
It kept me well
Hell, it kept me alive
I counted days as they faded away
I only felt sane when I was afraid
