I'll see you on the other side of this fear
Sit on the lowest branch, I'll wait for you there
It's not crazy for me to see you fully
We just push things away
You wanted it that way
I just wanted to step into your guts
Try on all your fears and see what sticks
Just see the world from the back of your mind
Await the fear that comes next
Everyday disguises forming in that fear
I've had the same dream too many times here
Every glance is starting to look like a nightmare
You were never real at all
I created you somewhere deep inside me
The destroyer of all things
I'll see you in every crowd staring straight back at me
It's time for me to just let it go
Remind myself I'm fine
Just give yourself some time
Give the destroyer a break from controlling your mind
Be the small spoon, let someone cuddle you from behind
Cuz you never trusted the way you feel
& it show all over your face
Love has been replaced
These shadows are what's real to you
The destroyer takes it's place
