F.E.A.R.

(album: Empires Fall - 2022)

False Evidence Appearing Real
Lies take over how we feel
Fear is never as it appears

F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R.

Scared of the forest in the night
Only difference is the absence of the light
Scared of the seasons when they change
But change is the only way that leads to better days

I pretend I'm okay but deep down I'm afraid
Stabbed in the back by a knife with no blade
Like I'm not safe and there's no way
That I'll make it through the day
What I'm afraid of the most
Just an invisible ghost
I see the worst, think that I'm cursed
Should take a different approach

False Evidence Appearing Real
Lies take over how we feel
Fear is never as it appears

F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R.
False Evidence Appearing Real
F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R.
False Evidence Appearing Real

Scared of the mundane
But turn around, pull the pin on the grenade
I'll drop it on the ground and then wait
You'd think I'm a fearless renegade
It's really that I'm irrational
Fear and joy, incompatible
My peace takes a sabbatical
Every time I'm sporadical, yeah

False Evidence Appearing Real
Lies take over how we feel
Fear is never as it appears

F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R.
False Evidence Appearing Real
F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R.
False Evidence Appearing Real

Fear starts to manifest
It grabs you by the neck
Then says, "What do you think of death?
Are you more than just flesh and bones?
Will the ground forever be your home?
Forever be unknown, forever be unknown"

False Evidence Appearing Real
Lies take over how we feel
Fear is never as it appears, oh

Are you more than just flesh and bones?
Will the ground forever be your home?
Forever be unknown, forever be unknown
