The blind embrace of a newborn babe (Be afraid, be very afraid) Doomed to struggle in a state of decay (Be afraid, be afraid) Arena born and forced to play (Be afraid, be very afraid) Carve our names on an empty grave (Be afraid, be afraid) I'd rather die for something Than hide another day in the shadow of fear You can bury your head in the quicksand While I grow my wings in the atmosphere I'd rather die for something Than hide another day in the shadow of fear You can bury your head in the quicksand While I grow my wings in the atmosphere Micro dose our abstracted brains (Be afraid, be very afraid) Nursing a retina dopamine buffet (Be afraid, be afraid) A Prophet's head speaks on a silver tray (Be afraid, be very afraid) The profits puppeteer the morbid display But I will not be afraid Yeah, I'd rather die for something Than hide another day in the shadow of fear You can bury your head in the quicksand While I grow my wings in the atmosphere Yeah, I'd rather die for something Than hide another day in the shadow of fear You can bury your head in the quicksand While I grow my wings in the atmosphere Tell me, dear friend Why do you cower at the shadows Lurking in the dark? Fear would have you buy passage Waste away as a calm hostage In the belly of a dead-end God forsaken ark Bravery may be excessively difficult to dig up But I'd rather die digging than living a life of comfort Left questioning, always questioning Questioning, questioning, questioning why I'd rather die a failure than never have even tried Hey kids, be obedient Do what you're told Your fear is legitimized So buy more gold Turn me inside out just to make yourself feel a little bit happy I could eat your whole world but somehow still end up feeling empty We don't even like the taste, yet here we are, throwing salt on all our wounds So tell me why do I feel betrayed when I twist the knife in you? Who are you to shoot me down when I'm on my sleigh? You're going to shoot your eye out kid, put that gun away Who am I to wear your crown when I have no faith? If you don't confess what you did, there will be hell to pay Sever the burden tied around your neck Our sorrow is not weakness, even Jesus wept Pull the pin out of the grenade The sound you make will resonate on deaf ears, but they can't ignore the flames Hey kids, be different Don't fit the mold Your fear is weaponized For their control Swallow down the poison that I made, when I disagree The wait for them to all drop dead is patiently killing me Pobody is nerfect, I am king Pobody is nerfect, please forgive me
