Innocence Lyrics by Björk

Volta

2007

[Verse 1]
I once had no fears, none at all
And then when I had some
To my surprise, I grew to like both
Scared or brave, without them

[Pre-Chorus]
The thrill of fear
Thought I'd never admit it
The thrill of fear
Now greatly enjoyed with courage

[Chorus 1]
When I once was untouchable
Innocence roared, still amazes
When I once was innocent
It is still here, but in different places

[Verse 2]
Neurosis only attaches itself to
Fertile ground where it can flourish

[Pre-Chorus]
The thrill of fear
Thought I'd never admit it
The thrill of fear
Now greatly enjoyed with courage

[Chorus 2]
When I once was fearless
Innocence roared, still amazes
Untouchable innocence
It is still here, but in different places

[Bridge]
Fear is a powerful drug
Overcome it and
You think that you can do
Anything

[Verse 3]
Should I save myself for later
Or generously give?

[Verse 4]
Fear of losing energy is draining
It locks up your chest, shuts down the heart
Miserly and stingy
Let's open up: share!

[Chorus 2]
When I once was fearless
Innocence roared, still amazes
Untouchable innocence
It is still here, but in different places
