Familiar Fears

from Sessions From Home EP by Chloe Hawes

/

lyrics

We saw our bedrooms as our prison cells,
Though most were bigger than 4 by 10,
We saw our hometowns as our sentences,
18 years before we could escape them
In teenage heartache and misery,
We gained bloodstained hands through our self surgery

Spending hours wishing away our years,
In doing so forgetting to live,
By the time we reached our familiar fears,
We didn't know how to solve the problems,
Or how to forgive

We watched satellites grace summer skies,
As we sat and laughed and made plans to watch the sun rise,
Forgetting that despite the season nights still grow cold,
As we huddled for warmth our plans could not hold

Spending hours wishing away our years,
In doing so forgetting to live,
By the time we reached our familiar fears,
We knew not how to solve the problems,
Or how to forgive.
