I got really scared tonight

I feel removed from this world.
I feel like I'm trapped behind a layer of fear.

I feel like you're out there
In the darkness
In the loudness
And anything could happen.

I'm worried,
There's a creature holding my heart
Squeezing it
Making it burst at the seams and whispering in my ear.

Telling me you're not safe
Telling me you've been taken.
Telling me I should be with you
Telling me that I won't find you.

And all of a sudden there are boulders falling from the sky.

I can't think
I can't breathe
I can't see
And I fear the things I didn't tell you.

I haven't told you I love you for real.
I haven't held you
kissed you for real
I haven't gotten you a ring.

And all of a sudden there are boulders falling from the sky.

There's pain
There's violence
There's hatred
Woven into the fabric of this city

There's warmth
There's touching
There's laughter
Woven into the fabric of you.

And all of sudden I'm hit by a boulder falling from the sky:
Maybe I'm not what you were meant to have.

You're out in the darkness
In the loudness
And anything could happen
Without me.

You're dancing
You're laughing
You're drinking
And I went home to work.

You're regaling your audience
You're characterizing and philosophizing
You're making the world fall in love with you
And I'm not part of the crowd.

The boulder is pushing me into the cold dirt
I'm slowly sinking into being scared.

Maybe I keep leaving when I should stay
And all of a sudden there's boulders falling from the sky.
