Amanda Palmer - The Fear Song Lyrics
I don't want to scare you but we need to talk
It's only fair that you know a few things about me before we start
And if you determine after learning of this little issue of mine
That you need to go
I won't be surprised
You strike me as someone who's seen quite a lot
But in my honest opinion I doubt this'll work like you thought
There's something specific I need you to do if you're up to the task
(Which you don't seem to be from the way that
You're still staring back with no change of expression)
But hey — you can give it a shot
I wish I was I wish I was
I wish I wish I wish i was
I wish I was I wish I was
I've seen how people work
I've watched them all these years
They are not driven by ambition
All their motors run on fear
Each one afraid of aging, dying
Being lonely, getting caught
They're terrified of moving on
But scared of staying here
I bared my neck to the teeth of a knife
They've held my head under the water for minutes — I didn't mind
I've been blind, bound and tied at the mercy of strangers,
they beat me, whatever
My heart didn't race — I was fine
I got them to hang me from terrible heights
They took me to places of poverty, malice, unspeakable
war — I have seen people die
They left me at night in the heart of the forest, the air full of noises,
The creatures that eat us just feet from my face,
As their wild cries sounded, and darkness surrounded
And still I did not bat an eye
I wish I was I wish I was
I wish I was afraid because
I wish I was I wish I was
Afraid afraid afraid because
I wish I was I wish because
I wish I was afraid because
I wish I was I wish I was
I wish I was afraid because
I wish I was I wish I was
I wish I was afraid because
I wish I wish I wish because
If you're not scared, you're not in love

Amanda Palmer The Fear Song Comments
i am dead to humanity no one talks to me anymore i sit in darkness wondering what death is or what happens after we die i have shut my self out of all contact im alone
I really resonate with this song. I haven’t been in love for a long time, and I’d honestly be fine if I died tomorrow.
God i feel so late to the party. I just found Evelyn, Evelyn at the beginning of 2019, and now in September I'm finally diving into both of your other works. You two have such a unique and powerful sound. It's incredible!
I found Evelyn Evelyn last year, but I didnt even know what it was. Then I decided to look it up a few weeks ago, and I listened to the entire album in a day (actually like 30 minutes) and I've been obsessed ever since :)))
Wow, she has been through a lot of television! I really feel bad for all she has been through, on television.
I have a valentine's day card written by amanda palmer and neil gaiman
This is amazing.
this is my favourite one from the JIB collection <3
GOD DAMMIT AMANDA *adds to playlist*
These songs that youve been releasing recently have been amazing. And I cant wait to hear more. Ive been listening to you for a long time and you seem to always improve your standard of music and add more depth to your lyrics. Thank you for the art you create. I appreciate it so much for alot of reasons.
Put it on spotify???? please???
It is on Spotify :)
kinda upset how this only came into existence a bunch of weeks ago, this would've helped me so much in times much longer before
Do caralho.
BR NESSA PORRA \O/
HUEHUHEUHEUHEUHEUHE
my favorite. definitely. bringing back memories of how i discovered you and jason through Evelyn,Evelyn. soooo happy i did!
she's so talented, I can't take it
I NEED CHORDS
I still need chords
Seconded - It'd be great if someone hit her up on twitter or something.
This is, for me, the best song of 2016 so far (and it's unlikely to be beat) - I love the vibe of it, and it sounds playable on guitar only.
I really, really want chords for this song.
Matija Burmazovic right? she's so underrated and so is this song.
What a tidal wave!
Amazing art in both the lyrics and musical composition.
WOAH! <3
You're a fucking genius Amanda. Your music has helped shape my life and has cradled me through some epic shit. Thank you for being you.
Jesus Christ on a bicycle
