FEAR
My mother's afraid of the subway
It's a living bad dream
I hold her hand as the doors close
And she pales and stifles a scream
Ali's afraid of Ad-libbing
Of improvising at jams
She is not very happy right now
And spends all her money on grams
Ade is afraid of commitment
So Carla dumped him today
She is very disappointed
She was hoping he'd beg her to stay
Ayo he just wants a girlfriend
He's afraid of dying alone
He doesn't go out very much
Sits at home a lot getting stoned
You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear
Ella is worried about her weight
She won't eat in public anymore
She is fucking her ex again
When they've finished
She sleeps on the floor
Nate has a heart of gold
But give it away he will not
His mother abandoned him at ten
It's a pain he has never forgot
Mary's afraid of herself
Her sentences often cut off
She will never give her own opinion
She's afraid that people might laugh
And I am afraid of sharks
I will not swim out past my head
And sometimes I worry
My boyfriend will die
My first love is already dead
You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear
You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear
Candy is having a baby
She fears she will be like her mom
Her friends say relax take a deep breath
And march to a different drum
Sachas afraid of her Marco
She thinks that it's all her fault
But if he did what he does to a stranger
He'd be locked up and charged with assault
You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peers
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear
GET ME
Now I don't mind if you find that I'm a shoulder to cry on rely on
But the burden is just too much I'm losing touch with myself and my health
What you gonna do if you get me I can heal your problems if you let me
What you gonna do if you get me I can heal your problems if you let me
Now I don't keep you from your sleep I need some ease I'm tired of trying to please
And it seems that my dreams are coming farther and fewer in between
What you gonna do if you get me I can heal your problems if you let me
What you gonna do if you get me I can heal your problems if you let me
BREATHE ME
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
