The Shape Of The Fear Lyrics

The Shape Of The Fear

All this concern over these cards overturned

The cold light shows too much

Bruise-colored blood who's getting to rush



Smoke made it clear

Holding in the worst

Gives shape to the fear

As they sang along, the chorus and verse



The shake of the shame

But it hangs around your name

For the first time you're afraid

And you take what they left

Choke on their success

But you're nothing anyway



The way I mistook

How an overbite might look

Like a smile on the face of a girl

And the way she's hating the world



Strength in the arms

Pulling empty hall alarms

But nobody heard

In a room where they wait and rehearse



The shake of the shame

But it hangs around your name

For the first time you're afraid

And you take what they left

Choke on their success

But you're nothing anyway



It's getting too much

The bruise-colored blood was beginning to rush



The shake of the shame

But it hangs around your name

For the first time you're afraid

And you take what they left

Choke on their success

But you're nothing anyway
