Fear by Karl S. Williams Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I fear it, I fear it
I fear the body going blind
I can’t see my lover coming
I keep missing all the signs
I am groping in the darkness
Where is Ariadne’s line
And do you who lead me forward
Only see as well as I?
[Chorus 1]
Fear the mundane sales pitch bleating
Fear the black wings of bad news beating
Fear the black mouth of big banks feeding
Fear the hate that the children are eating
Above all else, I fear myself
[Verse 2]
I fear it, I fear it
I fear the body going mad
I imaginе persecution
Shatterеd dreams I never had
Could we ask for intervention
Those asleep at the controls
Could we perform an exorcism
Would it leave the body cold
[Chorus 2]
Fear the rich and fear the poor
Fear religion knocking at my door
Fear I’ll never really be much more than I am
Fear I’ll never reach the other shore
Above all else, I fear myself
[Outro]
I fear that I’m faking
I fear that you’re mistaken
I’ve nothing to give you
I’ve only been taking
And I fear that I’ll never be good enough
I fear that I’ll never be worthy of your love
I fear it, I fear it
I fear the body going blind
I can’t see my lover coming
I keep missing all the signs
I am groping in the darkness
Where is Ariadne’s line
And do you who lead me forward
Only see as well as I?
[Chorus 1]
Fear the mundane sales pitch bleating
Fear the black wings of bad news beating
Fear the black mouth of big banks feeding
Fear the hate that the children are eating
Above all else, I fear myself
[Verse 2]
I fear it, I fear it
I fear the body going mad
I imaginе persecution
Shatterеd dreams I never had
Could we ask for intervention
Those asleep at the controls
Could we perform an exorcism
Would it leave the body cold
[Chorus 2]
Fear the rich and fear the poor
Fear religion knocking at my door
Fear I’ll never really be much more than I am
Fear I’ll never reach the other shore
Above all else, I fear myself
[Outro]
I fear that I’m faking
I fear that you’re mistaken
I’ve nothing to give you
I’ve only been taking
And I fear that I’ll never be good enough
I fear that I’ll never be worthy of your love
