Letting Fear Talk
What, are you scared of me?
That's embarrassing.
If it wasn't for me, you’d still be a shut in!
I've always been here for you,
But how come you're never there for me?
I know it's a little bit twisted,
but I miss when you and I had scary dreams.
When you used to writhe in your sleep
Because you knew the nightmares were real-
I don't really wanna talk about it...
Well, it’s my turn for once, so shut up!
...
Now where were we?
Way back in the day when
You and I had it all mapped out in the basement
Crying in your room like a baby
"I wish mom was here"
We all do—so we wouldn't have to hear you b**** about it!
I'm the one that made this happen.
Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction?
You told me that you don't want me in your life.
That's pretty hard to digest,
And I told you I'd leave when we die,
And we aren’t dead yet.
You wanna know what the funny thing is?
You keep on talking to me like I’m a stranger!
We've been together since you were a kid!
I told myself I was a no-name.
So I told you everything was okay.
Now you’re trying to cut me out?
Like I was never a part of this?
I am the heart of it!
I made this whole thing!
but you need to learn how to cope with it.
But I can’t! I don’t want you here!
That's just the way that it is.
You say you need to own your life,
then wake up and take your own advice!
You’re just mad because you know I'm right!
I mean, what are you, out of your mind?
Is this what you wanted?
I know that you're mad,
but I'm not in the mood for this.
You can't get rid of all of me!
I'm the reason why—
No, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence!
Hell, man up, kid!-
Is this me or the FEAR talking?
Ha! What a dumb question!
Thought I told you to keep your mouth shut
I mean, so what? You know I never listen.
Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second
That you're taking me out?
No, of course not.
...
You had me scared for a second,
I thought we were digging my grave!
We did.
What, you don't like being afraid?
