Lyrics

Hand Grenade

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I got my thumb on the hand grenade
When I lost it, I really lost it
I showed you the line, but you crossed it

And now I'm running, I'm always running
To keep the end, the fear from coming
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I got my thumb on the hand grenade (I'm not afraid)

I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid)
I'm my own person (I'm not afraid)
I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid)
I set myself free (I'm not afraid)

I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid)
I'm my own person (I'm not afraid)
I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid)
I set myself free

I'm no survivor, I'm no survivor
Another lit match on the pyre
When you can't sleep, and you can't sleep
I'll be the reason in the middle of the night

Yes, I'm the reason, I am the reason
That I keep moving towards something like healing
I'm no survivor, I'm no survivor
Another lit match on the pyre (I'm not afraid)

I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid)
I'm my own person (I'm not afraid)
I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid)
I set myself free (I'm not afraid)

I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid)
I'm my own person (I'm not afraid)
I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid)
I set myself free (I'm not afraid)

I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid)
I'm my own person (I'm not afraid)
I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid)
I set myself free (I'm not afraid)

I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid)
I'm my own person (I'm not afraid)
I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid)
I set myself free (I'm not afraid)

I'm not your victim (I'm not afraid)
I'm my own person (I'm not afraid)
I'm not some casualty (I'm not afraid)
I set myself free (I'm not afraid)

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
I got my thumb on the hand grenade (I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I got my thumb on the hand grenade
