This guiding fright that I've boldened up,
Struck through and followed up,
Sent direct to the pileup,
Has beaten down on me

This fear that I'm standing still
I'm waiting for my life to appear
I'm settling the setting here
I'm shutting out the eyes and ears

Cause I can wait for the memory of my

Who needs the present when the past is better?
You lesson up your failures with a heartfelt letter
This guiding fright of mine?
You have your own.

Stall the place and time
This gem this life of mine
Despite the sharp incline,
I can wait.
