Fear of Fear

Fill my lungs full of smoke
Fill my belly full of beer
Fill my nights with bad jokes
Told by folks full of fear

Fill my eyes with a stinging
Fill my time with wishing she was here

Fill my wide with the narrow
Fill my safe full of danger
Fill my bed full of shadows
Fill my dreams full of strangers

Fill my ears with a ringin'
Fill my heart with a fear of fear

Well, fill my cup half empty 'cause it's never been half full
Fill me up, paint me over, like a damp patch on the wall
Leave me lyin' on my stomach on your neighbour's bathroom floor
I'm only here until tomorrow anyway

I'm burnin' up, like a fever that rages in the night
Spark me up, I'm a firework, I'll burst into light
For it's better to burn out than to fade out of sight
That's what someone told me anyway

So fill my lungs full of smoke
Fill my belly full of beer
Fill my nose full of cocaine
Fill my eyes full of tears

Fill my short with a longin'
Fill my time with wishin' I wasn't here

Oh, fill my past with regret
Wrap my present in brown paper
Fill my future with promises
That promise to come later

Fill my heart with a stingin'
Fill my heart with a fear of fear
