I got the fear

Well this is new

My winter blues have turned yellow

I’m down here before noon

Squinting up out the window

This isn’t what I meant at all

When I said let’s get out of here and thaw

Worry’s got me by the throat

I keep my feet to the road

But it’s breathing down my neck

And it does not care that I object

I got the fear

I got the fear

You, panicking

In the public bathroom stall

Your chest in a free fall

You’re not alone in there

And the dread doesn’t pay any rent money

But as long as it doesn’t get ahold of my honey

I think I’ll be alright

Think I’ll be alright

Though my usual tricks aren’t working

And our only world is burning

And even what is only real in my head destroys me

Are we all doomed to fulfill this prophecy?
