Fear Before

There are things, there are creatures about
With big hands and cavernous mouths
Thats what Im afraid of these days
I peeled the wings off a rat today
I saw myself in her as she limped away
Thats what Im afraid of these days
There are things, things that only I see
There are creatures, and theyre out to get me
Thats what Im afraid of these days
Glued some wings to the back of a spider
Looked up for validation, but I could not find it
No ones more scared than I am these days
So say it cause I can see it
Youve got the look of a skeptic in headlights
So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long?
"Cue the music cause this speaker is scaring the kids"
"The children are trembling",
Rightfully so, rightfully so
Pray tell me again because theres a nest in my ear
And one behind my eyes
Obscurity and his family
Are having their fun with my poor mind
Theyve made a mess of my vision,
And a mess of my sight
I should have been seeing friends
So say it cause I can see it
Youve got the look of a believer on trial
So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long?
Cue the music cause Im starting to scare myself
"The children are trembling"
Rightfully so, rightfully so
So say it cause I can see it
Youve got the look of a skeptic in headlights
So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long?
Cue the lights because the darkness is taking its toll
