lyrics

I’m afraid, I’m becoming estranged from sunlight
Barricade, locked in this focus all night
Now I know, that left to my own devices everyday’s the same
Blunt the range, god it’s so boring, it’s such a boring refrain

But I know my fears, I’ll own my fears
I know my fears, I’ll own my fears

Check the buzz, and now the dopamine’s right
‘Cause I’m Pavlov’s dog, with all of the bark and none of the bite
Now I’m sure that, left to my own devices, my will will always lose
The minutes and hours and days become one and the same despite everything I try to do

But I know my fears, I’ll own my fears
(you will always need me, you will never leave me, you will never leave me)
I know my fears, I’ll own my fears
(you will always need me, you will never leave me, you will never leave me)
