Fear Lyrics

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
