Arrows Down

I know that
The world is safer behind my eyes
I can see
Fact in fiction and truth in lies

Hearts are made of glass
And the shards will cut you when they break
This isn't real
And you'll say anything so I don't wake

You think you know me and you do
Why do I want to know you, too?

I am a warrior
And I fight with honor fearlessly
So how come with you I
Open my heart so carelessly?

Arrows down, close my eyes
And wait for you to turn the knife

I've never been afraid
So why am I so terrified?

I know
How not to be afraid without light
Darkness
Is much better for me when I fight

The color of your eyes is new
And now its darkness scares me, too

I am a warrior
And I fight with honor fearlessly
So how come with you I
Open my heart so carelessly?

Arrows down, close my eyes
And wait for you to turn the knife

I've never been afraid
So why am I so terrified?

Born a soldier
Raised to kill
I don't know how to love you
And I fear I never will

Born a boy
Raised to love
You are not afraid of me
What am I so afraid of?

I am a warrior
And I fight with honor fearlessly
So how come with you I
Open my heart so carelessly?

Arrows down, close my eyes
And wait for you to turn the knife

I've never been afraid
So why am I so terrified?
