Fear Lyrics by Islands

Should I Remain Here at Sea?

2016

[Verse 1]
There's a car driving by
It's the fear, the fear, the fear
Rolling in disguise

Look down
You think it's over there now
But it's here, it's here, it's here
It's in the eyes

That dream is a lie
You'll wake up when you die
Wake up when you die

[Hook]
These pigs should be in the backseat hogtied
But all I see is them freely driving by
Why should we let you in before we pull the pin?
How can anyone even fall when they’re pushed against the wall?

[Verse 2]
There’s a point on the horizon line
Where you can see, someone else’s dream
It’s no dream of mine

The fear in an American town
He’ll drown, he’ll drown, he'll drown
Before you flush him down

The dream is a lie
Wake up when he dies
Wake up when he dies

[Hook]
These pigs should be in the backseat hogtied
But all I see is them freely driving by
Why should we let you in before we pull the pin?
How can anyone even fall when they’re pushed against the wall?
I'm not sure if I can even understand the fear in

[Outro]
America
You're so unkind
You break the body, chain the mind
You'd fix it but you haven't got the time
