Song I'm Afraid To Write

This is the song I'm afraid to write It might wake the dead And maybe they were right This is the dream I've never had before We were safe and alone Too much to ignore What if they were right? Maybe they were right? This is the day they won't let me sing I'm locked away and the warden is listening This is the song I can never release Demons at the gate Who I can never please What if they were right? Maybe they were right? I wrote this song in the absence of light A barfly in a teacup A husband without a wife This is the song that saved my life Now I'm free from being bitter And chased by a knife But I hear there's another side They tell me there's another side Gotta get to the other side Will they hear my song on the other side They're speaking in tongues on the other side I'm not the only one on the other side
