Life Less Frightening

Suffering from something we're not sure of

In a world there is no cure for

These lives we live test negative for happiness

Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open

Single file like soldiers on a mission

If there's no war outside our heads

Why are we losing?



I don't ask for much

Truth be told I'd settle

For a life less frightening, a life less frightening

I don't ask for much

Truth be told I'd settle

For a life less frightening, a life less frightening



Hang me out to dry I'm soaking

With the sense of knowing

What's gone wrong but doing nothing I still run

Time again I have found myself stuttering

Foundations pulled out from under me

This breath is wasted on them all

Will someone answer me



I don't ask for much

Truth be told I'd settle

For a life less frightening, a life less frightening

I don't ask for much

Truth be told I'd settle

For a life less frightening, a life less frightening



Is there a God tonight?

Up in the sky or is it empty just like me (just like me)

A place where we can hide out from the night

Where you are all I see (where you are all I need)

So blow a kiss goodbye, and close your eyes

Tell me what you see (tell me what you see)

A life that's set inside this dream of mine

Where you are all I see



I don't ask for much

Truth be told I'd settle

For a life less frightening, a life less frightening

I don't ask for much

Truth be told I'd settle

For a life less frightening, a life less frightening
