Afraid of Everything Lyrics by Schäffer the Darklord

Sick Passenger

2013

(Be afraid.)
[Verse 1]
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
[Hook]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Hook]
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
[Verse 3]
I get the chills when I'm listed, digits 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!
[Hook]
