Schaffer The Darklord - Afraid of Everything lyrics

(Be afraid.) [Verse 1] Here comes the Cowardly Lion Watch him crumble into dust and powder, he's frightened Watch him talk a big game feigning he's the k**ing sort And not some blankie clutching thumb s**er in a pillow fort All locked doors, all windows barred Every little last thing leaves him feel a little more scarred Phobias unfocused, fears and ADD Yeah, he's afraid of everything- I'm afraid he's me [Hook] When all of it's scary, when bravery's buried Whistle past cemeteries, of daily dread we sing When heart rates will race, when fears never face There is no place that's safe, you're afraid of everything [Verse 2] Yeah, I'm afraid everyday of everything and everyone I used to be afraid of the dark now I'm afraid of the sun I used to flee to basements, now I hide on my roof I used to fear the unknown, now I'm terrified of the truth Unruly groups of youths on the train Scare me more than growing older did when I was their age Afraid of day jobs, stray dogs and swarms of wasps Brain clots, but not as much as of New York cops Laser pointers and terrorists disappointing my parents And I swear it's terrifying my appointments with therapists Who wanna prescribe d** that give me nightmares and shakes I fear my mistakes heights, thugs, spiders and snakes Fistfights, forests, floods, and fresh blood, missing flights and ERs, bedbugs, landlords, handguns, prisons, dentists, tetan*s, epar, redrum I'm scared I'm unstable from what I've done to my health Knowing what I'm capable of- I'm afraid of myself [Hook] [Verse 3] I get the chills when I'm listed, digits hit up on my phone I'm scared witless of both commitment and of being alone Horrified of my ex-wife, mortified by my s** life And of what I did the day before but more for the next night Petrified of failure, but less than of success Restless nights spent fretting about irrelevance and stress Maybe shouldn't have abandoned, ran away from my band Afraid of making fans mad, yeah I'm afraid of my fans! Afraid that my colleges find me the clown in their company And that the people I start fights with on the internet will come for me Worried that this record's hated, no one will get it And that I'll never have kids and that one day I'll regret it So the time between gigs I spend alone in my bed Afraid of all of it, covers pulled up over my head And wait for shows to play because being a fool on stage Is the only thing in this world of which I'm not afraid! [Hook]
