Fear

(album: RWBY, Vol. 7 - 2020)

I'd understand
If you'd rather not
Talk about this

There's always a chance
That we might remain
In ignorant bliss

Most of the time
We coast along
Safe from the storm

We follow our hearts
Trust what feels right
Keep to the norm

We are lucky
If our lives
Can avoid it

But fear changes
All of our choices

Who will you see
There in the darkness?
When no one is watching
Who will you be?

When you're afraid
And everything changes
Will you see a stranger
Feel proud, or betrayed?

All of your life
Guided by truth
Right from the start

Then one twist of fate
In the blink of an eye
And it all falls apart

What happens then
When all that you knew
Just fades away?

When you've lost all control
You've broke from your soul
And fear has its day

Will you make the
Right choice in
That moment?

Will you stand and be brave
Or be broken?

We live in fear
That we might fail
Fear
That we'll succeed
Fear
That we may not provide
The things our loved ones need

But our greatest fear
Will be realized
If we fall
And lose ourselves to fear
We've become what we feared
All our lives

Who will you see
There in the darkness?
When no one is watching
Who will you be?

When you're afraid
And everything changes
Will you see a stranger
Feel proud, or betrayed?
