"Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly"

I am no angel, but I am fallen

I'm afraid of falling into the abyss

I'm afraid of knowing things that should remain unknown

I'm afraid of knowing that I am not who I think I am

Basically, I'm afraid of myself

"If you're not afraid, then you ain't livin'"

I don't want to be afraid, but I should be

Complication is my thing, and I would like to keep it this way
