lyrics
There must be something wrong with me.
Something in my brain, the chemistry isn't aligning.
The wires are all frayed and I guess
I could call a chemist or some engineer.
But I think that they would just show up in fear, fear, fearful of knowing what's unknown.
And then I would know that I didn't want to know that fear, fear, fearful
of knowing what I've missed and then as I'm growing, I'd be pissed that I missed it.
That I missed it up.
I call my doctor and I tell him that I feel far away
He says maybe a vacation is going to go on in my brain,
I travel far but I don't find myself. I'm still where I came from
I left myself there and I can't go back to that place where I am
fear, fear fearful of getting stuck where I was born, getting torn apart for who I am and all that I now know I would be fear, fear fearful of dying in that town. Lost to time and lost to place and all that would remain is my fear, fear, fearful of getting stuck inside my brain fear fear fearful of everything that remains.
What happens when I find out that truth?
Will I make a whole bunch of money or will anyone even know or care or root
For me to be the famous person that I see on the news?
When I look at other people do I see me, or will I just see the cruel
Fear fear fearful of myself,
fear fear fear, full of myself,
fear, fear fear, I'm full of myself.
And that's my biggest fear of all. My biggest fear of all. biggest fear of all.
