Fear

For those who are struggling today and have fears or insecurities or emotional turmoils that are hurting or holding you down, I hope this song from Blue October can be of comfort. 

I really like the original MV but this acoustic version is simply breathtaking - so much raw emotion from Justin Furstenfeld. Here's the link to the acoustic version and the original MV. And here's the lyrics:

 

All my life
Been running from a pain in me
A feeling I don't understand
Holding me down

Rain on me
Underwater
All I am, getting harder
A heavy weight
I carry around.

Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me,
My shadow see through me

Fear in itself
Will reel you in and spit you out
Over and over again
Believe in yourself
And you will walk
Fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
like you were never enough
I used to fall, now I get back up.

I'm up here
I'm looking at the way down there
I'm staring through the I don't care
It's staring back at me

The beauty is
I'm learning how to face my beast
Starting now to find some peace
Set myself free

Today,
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me,
My shadow see through me

Fear in itself
Will reel you in
And spit you out over and over again
Believe in yourself
and you will walk
Fear in itself
Will use you up and break you down
like you were never enough
I used to fall but now I get back up

I'm moving on
Oh god just move on
Today,
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid....
Get back up
Get up

Fear in itself will use you up
And break you down just like you're never enough
I used to fall

Breathe,
Ask for more
if you're bitter still
Ask him to help you carry on.
