Fear is an emotion inside us
Deeper growing my deaths content
Eating away our insides
Watching themselves and they step out of skin
So darkness it surrounds the being
Memories resurrected of pain

Remembered what?
Were reminded then
Of a the fear that's inside us and we'll give in today
Fear
Fuck you
Fear
Its inside you

Why am I here? Because you invited me
I can't help for your insecurity
You can't hide it from me cause I'm inside of you
I took it from you because your a freak show

I mend my soul without reason
Patiently conscience restrained
My life feels so nice
It seems my darkness disguised entity
Shrouded in lifetimes of misery
Turned and it swells in my fate

Repeated what?
Disregarded then
Of the visions in my mind reflected mistake
Fear
Fuck you
Fear
Its inside you
Why am I here? Because you invited me
I can't help for your insecurity
You can't hide it from me cause I'm inside of you
I took it from you because your a freak show

Why!?
Hostile manner that's my fear
Sets back in my body goodnight
Relayed needles
Now floating feeling with soul striped from rine
Wrapping dead bodies accending
Vision restored to my eyes
Confidence what ??
Through defiance why ?
I've just now lifted from dead soiled time

Fear
Fuck you
Fear
I'm inside you
My hand upon you

Your life gets a clue I'm finished
Why am I here? Because you invited me
I can't help for your insecurity
You can't hide it from me cause I'm inside of you
I took it from you because your a freak show

Fear its violent
Sleeping inside me
Cry out just can't sickness inside me
Sickness full of weakness in motion
Please let me free now get out of me!

Fear!
Fear!
Fear!
Fear!

    Heh, so the first part of the song, this part:

    Mr. P, you have that funny little acidy taste in the back of your throat? (gurgle) Like that? Uh-huh. You can taste it? You know what that is? Uh-uh? Fear..

    is obviously sampled from somewhere. I was watching Ernest Goes to Jail today (yea, I know) and guess what? That whole first part of the song is sampled from Ernest Goes to Jail. Surprised the hell out of me. Mudvayne must be Ernest fans.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
