Comfortably Dumb

[Intro]
I am afraid!
Afraid of my shadow, so I don't go outside
Afraid of my dentist, so my teeth are fallin' out
My canines are septic, all flesh and decay

[Verse 1]
'Cause I only bite if I'm threatened, afraid
Fight or flight switch on when it broke
An uneasy punchline, a horrible joke
The fictional frontline to which I've been drafted
Will bend to my will if it ever should happen
But wartime cares not for joy of existing
I can't help but wonder the world I am missing

[Chorus]
I am terrified of what I have become
Comfortably dumb, endearing to some

[Verse 2]
Peddling scares in the place of a pastime
But I'm just a lily disguised as a landmine
For short bursts of time, I puff out my chest, but
My asthma requires me to take baby breaths
The closest connections, transmissions in code
And I miss my memaw when I'm on the road
I'm oddly obsessed with being depressed
I'd heal if I wanted, but'll likely remain a mess

[Chorus]
I am terrified of what I have become
Comfortably dumb, endearing to some

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I am terrified of what I have become
Comfortably dumb, endearing to some
And I am terrified of what I have become
Observed from a distance, endearing to none
