Fear Of Fear

Fill my lungs full of smoke Fill my belly full of beer Fill my nights with bad jokes told by folks full of fear Fill my short with a longing Fill my time with wishing she was here Fill my wide with the narrow Fill my safe full of danger Fill my bed full of shadows Fill my dreams full of strangers Fill my ears with a ringing Fill my heart with a fear of fear Well fill my cup half empty cause it’s never been half full Fill me up, paint me over, like a damp patch on the wall Leave me lying on my stomach on your neighbour’s bathroom floor I’m only here till tomorrow anyway I’m burning up, like a fever that rages in the night Spark me up, I’m a firework I’ll burst into light For it’s better to burn out than to fade out of sight That’s what someone told me anyway so fill my lungs full of smoke fill my belly full of beer fill my nose full of cocaine fill my eyes full of tears fill my heart with a longing fill my time with wishing I wasn’t here Oh fill my past with regret Wrap my present in brown paper Fill my future with promises that promise to come later Fill my heart with a stinging Fill my heart with a fear of fear
