To Be Scared by an Owl Alesana

Look at the sky as the night descends
The rain is crashing down, I’ve hit another dead end
Just before I let hope slip away
A shadow is revealed, the devil shows his face

I’m scared to death and have myself to blame, I’m to blame
How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know, I used to search the sky and dream of where you were
I need you by my side, we can end this together
I know I promised you the world and still I let you down
I need you by my side and together we’ll end this now

Look in my eyes! am I shaking now?
I am all you fear, have I made myself clear?

Shut your mouth and finish what you’ve started
Boy, you haven’t got the slightest idea
Just who I am and what I do for you
Don’t you see that I am trying to save you?
Shut your mouth and finish what you’ve started

I’m scared to death and have myself to blame, no one else
How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know, I used to search the sky and dream of where you were
I need you by my side, we can end this together
I know I promised you the world and still I let you down
I need you by my side and together we’ll end this now
