Fearful Courage

You have so many secrets and all you do is run;
All you do is stare down at the barrel of a gun;
Fate keeps throwing your cards at my door;
But all I do is watch your tears hit the floor.

Follow your thread, swallow the gun that is in your hand;
While the murderer is staring at you;
What you'll accomplish is almost grand;
Make the world think you want something new.

That murderer is just part of your fate;
Keeping your sanity down, pulling it away;
There are stories that you cannot unmake;
Broken pieces that grab you and stay.

Your mind sends out the wolves;
And your courage just hides like a sin;
It makes you think that what you touch just dissolves;
While numbness burrows in.

I've watched a few drown in your sin;
When the horrors followed you in;
Your heart, the king, died like royalty;
Nothing was left but her majesty;
Hope.

She tells you that she can't come home;
Your courage just dies, forced by their lies;
There's no more light in your eyes;
Did the sun just burn out, leaving you all alone?
