An unlicensed driver.
An unwanted friend.
Like voicemails from banks,
Alerts blinking red.
We fight or we fly
With a single phone call
From brain to body
How easy we fall.
Scratching for attention
Fighting for space
That could only be given
We didn't have to race.
But "Go, Go, Go!"
Don't ever stop!
I bet that sounds
A LOT like your job!
So many masks,
One is not enough time,
But fear wears you like a coat,
Fear does you like crime.
Call it energy, call it resource,
It's free to be used.
But it works both ways
And fear needs to be moved.
Into water, onto ground,
In the sky, in fires red,
Mewling for milk,
Fear must always be fed.
In you there are two wolves,
I'm just kidding. That's a joke.
Humour is the relief from fear,
But today, fear spoke.
I have my own flavor,
And so you too have your own,
Fear says we are different but,
Volume down?
You're not alone.
