Fear of Fear

Fill my lungs full of smoke

Fill my belly full of beer

Fill my nights with bad jokes

told by folks full of fear

Fill my eyes with a stinging

Fill my time with wishing she was here

Fill my wide with the narrow

Fill my safe full of danger

Fill my bed full of shadows

Fill my dreams full of strangers

Fill my ears with a ringing

Fill my heart with a fear of fear

Well fill my cup half empty cause it’s never been half full

Fill me up, paint me over, like a damp patch on the wall

Leave me lying on my stomach on your neighbour’s bathroom floor

I’m only here till tomorrow anyway

I’m burning up, like a fever that rages in the night

Spark me up, I’m a firework I’ll burst into light

For it’s better to burn out than to fade out of sight

That’s what someone told me anyway

so fill my lungs full of smoke

fill my belly full of beer

fill my nose full of cocaine

fill my eyes full of tears

fill my short with a longing

fill my time with wishing I wasn’t here

Oh fill my past with regret

Wrap my present in brown paper

Fill my future with promises that promise to come later

Fill my heart with a stinging

Fill my heart with a fear of fear
