Şarkı Adı: Fear

My mother’s afraid of the subway
It’s a living bad dream
I hold her hand as the doors close
And she pales and stifles a scream
Ali’s afraid of Ad-libbing
Of improvising at jams
She is not very happy right now
And spends all her money on grams
Ade is afraid of commitment
So Carla dumped him today
She is very disappointed
She was hoping he’d beg her to stay
Ayo he just wants a girlfriend
He’s afraid of dying alone
He doesn’t go out very much
Sits at home a lot getting stoned

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peeps
There is usually one thing that keeps
Us off track
It is fear, It is fear, It is fear

Ella is worried about her weight
She won’t eat in public anymore
She is fucking her ex again
When they’ve finished
She sleeps on the floor
Nate has a heart of gold
But give it away he will not
His mother abandoned him at ten
It’s a pain he has never forgot
Mary’s afraid of herself
Her sentences often cut half
She will never give her own opinion
She’s afraid that people might laugh
And I am afraid of sharks
I will not swim out past my head
And sometimes I worry
My boyfriend will die
My first love is already dead

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peeps
There is usually one thing that keeps
Us off track
It is fear, It is fear, It is fear

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peeps
There is usually one thing that keeps
Us off track
It is fear, It is fear, It is fear

Candy is having a baby
She fears she will be like her mom
Her friends say relax take a
Deep breath
And march to a different drum
Sachas afraid of her Marco
She think’s that it’s all her fault
But if he did what he does to a
Stranger
He’d be locked up and charged
With assault

You see fear is only holding us back
Look closely amongst all your peeps
There is usually one thing that keeps
Us off track

Şarkı Adı: Beautiful Calm Driving

Beautiful calm driving, deep sea pearl diving
Constantly unwinding, beautiful calm driving
You turned into another
You turned into nutter
You turned into another man

You’re a stranger to me
You’re a danger to me
You’re a stranger to me
You’re a danger
To me

Beautiful calm driving, emotional hiding
Effortlessly shining, beautiful calm driving
You turned into another
You turned into nutter
You turned into another man

You’re a stranger to me
You’re a danger to me
You’re a stranger to me
You’re a danger to me
You’re a stranger to me
You’re a danger to me
You’re a stranger to me
You’re a danger to me
Beautiful calm driving

Şarkı Adı: Rewrite

You don’t know me
You can’t hold me
I’ll slip through your hands
I am one single grain of sand

You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
If that is all you need

I’m an empty space
I can’t be replaced
So when you’re finished with this dream
Delete begin to rewrite me

You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
If that is all you need

You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
If that is all you need

You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
Delete and rewrite me

Şarkı Adı: Cellophane

Look at me, I’m such a basket case
Delivered to you wrapped in cellophane
Waiting on your doorstep every day
Delivery, a basket filled with pain

Patience is your virtue, saint o’ mine
I’d have fallen through the cracks without your love tonight
I’m your groundhog and I’m skating on thin ice
But you see me at your feet and carry me inside

[Chorus]
Can’t you see I’m wrapped in cellophane
Watch the blood pump through my veins
Electricity floods my brain
Can’t hide the pain, can’t hide the pain
When you’re wrapped in cellophane

Look at me, I’m such a basket case
While I fall apart you’ll hide all my pills again
And all the things I need to hear you say
You’ll watch as all my thoughts get right back on the train

[Chorus]
Can’t you see I’m wrapped in cellophane
Watch the blood pump through my veins
Electricity floods my brain
Can’t hide the pain, can’t hide the pain
When you’re wrapped in cellophane
