Lyrics

Afraid

Cease to know or to tell

Or to see or to be your own

Cease to know or to tell

Or to see or to be your own

Have someone else's will as your own

Have someone else's will as your own

You are beautiful and you are alone

You are beautiful and you are alone

Often the adolescent plague

Reward your grace

Often the adolescent plague

Reward your grace

Confuse your hunger, capture the fake

Confuse your hunger, capture the fake

Banish the faceless, reward your grace

Banish the faceless, reward your grace

You are beautiful and you are alone

Alone, alone
