lyrics

I've never been afraid of being bored
quite the opposite in fact my madness keeps me sane I'm always running
far away from death or maybe just into his arms and when we meet I'll be so proud and show him all the things that I have done

I've painted all these pictures and I've written all these songs
for no one but myself because I'm selfish and I'm wrong
I wrote a dozen novels that no one will ever read
I made arts and crafts and witchcraft I made cupcakes and cookies
I made worlds with other people I played god when I was ten
at my grandma's house with Lincoln logs and Legos in the den
I climbed mountains, I played make believe, I read Tolkien and Montgomery, and now I just can't get enough of anywhere and everything

I've never been afraid of going mad because they say there's some relation in destruction and creation
I've never been afraid of death
I'm afraid of not living
