(Verse 1)
Both your parents left their mark, warped your mind and cut your heart.
Now you’re angry, don’t know why, hurting but you never cry.
(Chorus 1)
All your fears will hang around, waiting till you cut them down.
They will always block your way. Every night and every day.
(Verse 2)
Burning with a fevered spell, you won’t wait long, you can’t stay.
All your demons shadow you, still you take my breath away.
(Chorus 2)
Time will change the night to day, time will hide some pain away.
But time alone won’t clear the way, to rid your past and live today
(Verse 3)
You’ve been fighting all your life, now you lie awake at night.
Struggling hard to make your gain, crawling through a dream of pain.
(Final chorus)
Bitter Karen all alone, in a world that's cold as stone
Fighting just to feel the sun, afraid to stay and scared to run.
Afraid to stay and scared to run
Afraid to stay and Scared to run
