Song language: English
Angst |
| Afraid of the past, afraid you might fall |
| Retreating inside yourself in cold funk at it all |
| Afraid of any freedom, of looking a fool |
| You skate on the surface |
| Afraid of the depth of the pool |
| Fear that you’ll become nothing |
| And that time’s running out |
| So afraid of getting used to things |
| Only fear remains beyond doubt |
| Fear that you’ll become nothing |
| And the thought makes you numb |
| Angst makes you tiny |
| Angst strikes you dumb |
| Fear needs an armory, afraid of your foes |
| Oh, but angst won’t remind you, most enemies are ghosts |
| So scared to be beaten, so scared to compete |
| Scared of stupidity, so smart on the streets |
| Fear gets employed as a system, intimidation as control |
| Fear shuts up you, eats the soul |
| Fear of each other, too scared to connect |
| We won’t meet each other’s eyes, all I’s we suspect |
| Afraid of emotion, scared of tenderness |
| Afraid that experience only leads to distress |
| Fear that you’ll become |
| Fear of manipulation, of being left in the cold |
| Scared you don’t do right by everyone, fear eats the soul |
| Scared to defend ourselves, scared and lonely we weep |
| So scared of being scared, so scared we’re asleep |
| So scared of being scared, we go to sleep |
