Fear

When you're running for dear life and there's nowhere else to turn

When a candle's left alone on fire something just might burn

It's called fear

Eating what's left inside

When the current moves you quickly and steers you to the rocks

When a mailman wears a mask and brings a ticking box

It's called fear

Leaving marks on the body

Leaving one hash mark every time you saw me

There's a stranger in the lobby

There were footsteps on the roof

But there is no proof or reason not to hide

And that's the gospel truth

When fire comes like rain and all the fish float to the top of the sea

Fear

When animals start to talk when a red horse begins to scream

Fear fear fear

It pours blood into every dream

Turning midnight into daydreams

The water has turned to red

Someone you know might be dead

But that's not a nice thing to have said

Be sure to look under your bed

Fear

It's hard being alone when you ain't got no home

So maybe there's no bed at all

Fear
