Schäffer the Darklord - Afraid of Everything lyrics

(Be afraid)

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 killing sort
And not some blankie-clutching thumb-sucker
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

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

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 drugs 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, tetanus, 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

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

I get the chills when I'm listed
Digit's hit up on my phone
I'm scared witless of both commitment
And of being alone horrified of my ex-wife
Mortified by my sex 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 colleagues 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!

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
