"The Fear"
Surprise, pale white; I’ve let you and I down again
It’s like I’m only human, but humanity’s my downside
There must be something worse than this
So give me the fear to fall in love with
Give me the shame to understand
Oh! You beg for feeling I can only find at the bottom of a bottle
I guess I’m less than normal here’s my formal apology; ecology of a black hole
Well, don’t expect understanding, I can’t understand myself
So give me the fear to fall in love with
Give me the shame to understand
Because the consequence from the discomfort is
The most appealing feeling I have ever felt and
I invite the pain
Bring the worst; just bring the worst
Because the fear I’ve held for this
Is the only thing that’s kept me from moving forward
I’ll forget it for this
The fear I’ve held for this
Is the only thing that’s kept me from moving forward
I’ll forget it for this; for this
So give me the fear to fall in love with
Give me the shame to understand
Because the consequence from the discomfort is
The most appealing feeling I have ever felt and
I invite the pain
