My Denial

My Denial
-words by Clint Collins
April 26, 2016

Campfire, the only light, cuz this night, it just got cold as hell
Surrounded by a crowd, but I still feel like I am by myself
And questions I am asked and I’m afraid to answer with the truth
For if I am discovered then they might come back and take me too
Oh why, oh why am I so scared of love?

With my fears stacked in a pile
Scared to death but acting brave all the while
It’s my denial, oh oh oh, it’s my denial

Soldiers, servants, strangers, and the brother of the one I hurt
Yesterday the world was clear, but tonight now it’s all a blur
And I’d rather tell a lie than be found guilty by the company I keep
I hear the rooster singing his sad song and I begin to weep
Oh why, oh why am I so scared of love?

And so I walk another mile
My inner demons hide behind my smile
It’s my denial, oh oh oh, it’s my denial

You say I am a rock, but I feel more like a falling leaf
Give me something real that I can hold to help my unbelief

And so I walk another mile
My inner demons hide behind my smile
It’s my denial, oh oh oh, it’s my denial
