Fear Yourself 歌词

Just outside the black lines my father drew the face of a girl And I didn't hear the words that the old man said that crushed the whole world My mother's eyes caught mine as she took the pen from my hand The brothers and the sisters just whispering "Hallelujah! Amen!" Fear yourself is all I heard Horror-struck from the Holy Word There's only so many times you can ask for forgiveness And as the saints came down to receive The spirit moved and they earned their reprieve But outside those walls they mauled the witness And we got back to business The blur of living two lives, sometimes you have to compromise That's what you tell yourself? You become the aesthetic, set-apart and prophetic But for how long? It won't work! But hide away the wrong things that somehow you just can't beat And it gets worse Everything is hidden and you can't remember why you believed every word Fear yourself is all I heard Horror-struck from the Holy Word There's only so many times you can ask for forgiveness And as the saints came down to receive The spirit moved and they earned their reprieve But outside those walls they mauled the witness And we got back to business
