The Alphabet of My Phobias Songtext

von Maia Vidal

I want to write a song about
The words I live without
The words I cannot say
In hopes they go away

I want to write a song about
The words that I cut out
My verbal repertoire
Voided now here they are

A as in abortion,
Animal cruelty,
And B is for the bees
C is climate change,
D is doomsday,
E is earthquake
F my fear of flying,
G is global warming,
And H is Haiti
Ice caps melt
And Judgment Day

These are the words I had to erase
These are the things I won't have to face
Cause I live in a world of peace and harmony
I don't read the news so it doesn't touch me

K is for the killers,
L is for the liars,
Mama why'd you bring me here
Cause you knew about the Nukes,
And I'm sure you knew
About Over-Population
So maybe I should Quit,
Cause I don't wanna Risk
Seeing this Transpire
Safe Under the ground,
I won't have to View
This World as it expires,
Y and Z

These are the words I could not erase
These are the things I will have to face
Cause I live in a world of war and poverty
I don't read the news but it still touches me

And there's something kinda nice
About living in end times,
We don't believe in god
Just turning out the lights

I could start smoking again
And it wouldn't even matter
Cause the world won't be around
Long enough for me to get cancer

I know this to be true,
But I don't see it as bad
Think we had a good run
Look at all the fun we had

And I live life every day,
And if these words are my last,
Then I'll love it even more
Cause I'll know it's all I had
