Not Afraid of You

There is no other drug that I would rather do
Than the hate and love that you put me through
And even though you hate this truth
Im not afraid of you

I can see past the pain, and nakedly walk through the rain
Arms wide open and eyes towards the sky
Bring on the rain and tempt me with your lies

You throw yourself around the house in disoriented rage
Fighting demons in your head, locked up in a cage.
They taunt you with their insults and fight you with their cries.
They test you with their consults and hide behind your eyes.

They tell you your not good enough.
They tell you your not right.
They take your edge and make it rough,
They take your heart and make it fight.

But I can see past them. They’re demons in the dark.
My eyes are wide open and I can see your heart.
Your not a monster, not a bad guy, nor a devil in disguise.
You’re a prisoner of guilt, and shame, and demon-chanting lies.

So go ahead and hate me. Go ahead and swear. Go ahead and take the pain and fines it with a dare. Hate me with indulgence, and ravage me in sin. Despise the eyes that see you, and everything within.

Cause even in your darkest, there’s a soul that sees a light. I’m addicted to the good in you, so have sweet dreams tonight.
