Burning

"Having a career isn't all that there is in life."

You think I don't know that?

I know it isn't.

But I also know

That this is my ticket into the real world

And I'm not going to blow it

For silly parties

The way we can laugh

The way we're so at ease

The way I can't stop looking at you

The way I can feel you

Next to me

Like I'd be happy wherever I can have this

The way we can grab each other's hands

I'm not scared of the dark

I don't trust it

I don't trust what it could reveal

I'm not scared of the dark

I'm scared of my mind

I'm scared of the games my brain plays 

I'm not scared of the dark
