PhemieC - You Only Know (Joshua’s Song) lyrics

Who are you, and to what end?
Are you the doting brother
Or the devoted friend?
Are you the wing man, the helping hand
Or the one left over?
The watchful eye, the butterfly
The rarely sober?

So, what are you? Who's playing your role?
Are you acting
Or directing? Who’s in control?
The spoiled son? The killer clown?
The voice that whispers?
Your therapist? Your arrogance? Your
Dead twin sisters?

Were they lost in the dark
Did they fall from a great height?
Were they chased and torn apart
By wolves and ravens in the night?
Were they taken, were they tortured
Through the water did they wade?
You only know that you're alone now
You only know that you're afraid
(You only know that you’re afraid)
You only know that you're afraid
(You only know that you're afraid)
You only know (You only know)
You only know so, what do you fear? Is
It snakes or roaches?
Do you shake, are you scared
When the storm approaches?
Is it boys with blades? Girls with guns?
Is it crowds, caves or cliff-sides? yeah
They all sound fun

Well then
Who do you hate? Is it girls who gossip?
Is it boys, big and brave
Who make you their hostage?
Is it friends who you miss
Who defy description
Who won't fight, who won't kiss
Who pass out in kitchens?

Were they lost in the dark
Did they fall from a great height?
Were they chased and torn apart
By wolves and ravens in the night?
Were they taken, were they tortured
Through the water did they wade?
You only know that you're alone now
You only know that you're afraid
(You only know that you're afraid)
You only know that you’re afraid
(You only know that you’re afraid)
You only know (You only know)
You only know

Tell me, what have you done
Where did it go wrong?
Were you kidding yourself all along?
Tell me, what will you do
If you can't be saved?
If the girls don’t gossip and
The boys aren't brave?

You will be lost in the dark
Now you've fallen from a great height
You'll be chased and torn apart
By wolves and ravens in the night
You’ll be taken, you'll be tortured
Through the water you will wade
But at least you're not alone now
Soon you won't be so afraid
(What do you fear? What do you hate?)
Soon you won't be so afraid
(I hate myself, I fear my fate)
Soon you won't be so afraid
(What do you fear? What do you hate?)
Soon you won't be so afraid
(I hate myself, I fear myself)
