Fear is The Leader

Verse 1:

I've made my home behind painted corners
Guess I don't like moving forward
No options left to be ordered
Starting over, restoring
A game of dollars and quarters
Open up the shop of horrors
Thought myself more an explorer
And less a performer
But I always end up back where I started
This path ain't uncharted
Starving artist shopping for bargains
And feeling more heartless
Yeah
They said you can be anything you want
Except what you want

Hook:

When you hold back
Fear is the leader
You get you heart snatched
Don't tell god i'm a bleeder
Where's your soul at ?
Throwing mine through the speakers
If this was life or death
I'm going down with the dreamers

Verse 2:

Tic tic
Just a time bomb
Asking myself where the times gone?
Where the minds gone?
Look what I've drawn
Yeah, the days long and the years quick
It's the same song when the beat hit
I'm in the scenic with a green tick
Trying to flip a cheap trick
From a deep crick
Yea I know it seem sick
But I got bravado
Won't follow a hollow Picasso
Swallow all that wallow
The essence we bottle is hostile
Take it from the Burgh to Toronto
Colorado, Chicago
50k in the trunk
Like anything is fucking possible
I've only ever learned by getting burnt
No stone unturned
And paranoid concerns
That always come to fruition
I'm wishing
To put all my demons in submission
If I'd only listen
But i'm talking to myself all wrong

(Hook)

Verse 3:

Never Good enough
Dead pan, the crowds are tough
Why haven't you given up
Do anything you want
Except what you want
Dreams are just a front
Fear is the leader
Don't tell god i'm a bleeder
Better put more change in the meter
Haven't made a move like a virgin
Just sitting there nervous
Someone cause a diversion
Or give me a purpose
I'm searching
For higher ground
But never more
Try to drown me out like Livermore
All my keys go to wrong doors
