Don't Be Afraid
Buck-O-Nine Lyrics

My body’s freezing and it’s dead where it lies
I feel lifeless and distant from the world around me.

My mind’s awake and I got fire in my eyes
Despite my physical detachment, my mind and spirit are full of passion and energy.

If I sleep again I’m in for a surprise
I can't afford to fall back into old patterns and complacency, or I'll miss out on new opportunities.

Another year is all I need to shake this
I'm confident that with time and effort, I can overcome my current struggles and reach a better place in my life.

When you see me I’ll be dressed in black
I may appear dark and intimidating to some, but that's just a reflection of who I am and what I stand for.

Shrunken Heads on a stick that I stacked
I enjoy collecting curious and morbid objects that symbolize my defiance against societal norms and expectations.

I don’t care about the way that they prey
I'm not interested in conforming to other people's beliefs and values, or being weighed down by their judgments and criticisms.

I’ve got the Devil inside so don’t be afraid
I don't fear evil or temptation, because I've already embraced my own darkness and use it as a source of power and inspiration.

It’s not what they say… it’s what you believe!
The opinions and gossip of others don't define us, but rather our own convictions and faith in ourselves.

Later in the night we’ll all be at the bar
We may find solidarity and comfort in the company of others who share our struggles and desires, even if it's just at a social gathering.

Cinderella’s got a scar on her heart
We all have our own emotional and personal wounds and challenges that we carry with us, no matter how we may seem on the surface.

Living this… It’s only just beginning
Our journey and growth is ongoing, and each day brings new experiences and opportunities to learn and improve.

It’s after midnight and everything is shakin!
Sometimes we have to let loose, and break free from our routine and inhibitions, in order to truly live and feel alive.

We are the Demons – We are the Night
We embrace and embody the darker and more mysterious elements of existence, and find our own power and beauty in the darkness.

We are the Devils and We came to Fight
We don't shy away from conflict or struggle, but rather see them as necessary challenges and opportunities to prove our strength and resilience.

We are the sinners & we’re living in your soul
We reject the idea of moral absolutes or universal ideals, and instead choose to explore and redefine our own sense of right and wrong.

T.I.D. is ‘Til I Die’ and we’re never growin’ old
We're committed to our passions and ways of life, whether or not we're accepted or understood by others, and refuse to let age or time dull our spirit.

Lost in the hands of hell
Sometimes we feel trapped or overwhelmed by our own internal struggles and conflicts, and it can feel like we're in a personal hell of our own making.

Your soul will never be well
Even when we face our demons and try to heal from our pain, we know that our scars and memories will always be a part of us, and may never fully disappear.

I’ll see you on the other side / But not until you die!
We may bond with others over our shared experiences and convictions, but ultimately each of us must walk our own path and face our own destiny, even to the point of death.
