The Fear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My, my cold hearted child, tell me how you feel
Just a blade in the grass, spoke unto the wheel
My, my cold hearted child, tell me where it's all gone
All the luster of your bones, those arms that held you strong
I've been worrying that my time is a little unclear
I've been worrying that I'm losing the ones I hold dear
I've been worrying that we all, live our lives
In the confines of fear
My, my cold hearted child, tell me how you feel
Just a grain in the morning air, dark shadow on the hill
My, my cold hearted child, tell me where it all falls
All this apathy you feel will make a fool of us all
I've been worrying that my time is a little unclear
I've been worrying that I'm losing the ones I hold dear
I've been worrying that we all live our lives
In the confines of fear
Oh, I will become what I deserve
Oh, I will become what I deserve
Oh, I will become what I deserve
Oh, I will become what I deserve
I've been worrying
I've been worrying
I will become what I deserve
I've been worrying
My time is a little unclear
I will become what I deserve
I've been worrying, I've been worrying
That my time is a little unclear
I've been worrying, I've been worrying
That I'm losing the ones I hold dear
I've been worrying, I've been worrying
That we all live our lives
In the confines of fear
