(Fear!) I keep it undercover, demons Feasting on my troubles, keeping me from slumbering (Fear!) Is the gun in the cupboard. Deep inside the thugs and the lovers Our nature is to suffer it (Fear!) Of the other - why keep it undercover? The people grieve and suffer - it’s deeper than the Government (Fear!) Of the tongues of our brothers We sweep them under rugs, into gutters Sky-scrapers to the slums and the suburbs Take it from the tongues of the unheard that Some words, when murmured, turn to fervour, turn to young murdered Once nurtured, hatred takes its acreage like a noxious weed Dropping seeds of grief until there’s peaceful people knocking teeth As policy, we greet the lost-at-sea with boxes, locks, and keys And Manus stands a rocky monument to mob hypocrisy There’s got to be some options worth adopting pre- eternal purgatory You’ve heard the story murmured by some learned Tory: "it’s us or them!" The terror embedded in every cellular replica, whether they’re buried in sediment Sentient, clever, or supra-molecular. Don’t shoot for the messenger The root of the dread in humanity’s scanning savannah and canopy, standing on Feet for a peak at a thief or the teeth of a predator But now the retina’s faced with stimulation saturation A massive clade of anxious apes who’ll scrap for change or smash your face in The great sapiens panicking: grabbing at vanishing resources While the rich shovel three courses (Fear!)

That sounds like British rule again. Vendettas peddled Strings of Geppetto, public are sheep in the meadow, truth is Pestled by media shepherds out to net-worth-treble But on the level: check the conviction in your decision The origin of your opposition. Look inside, envision Onus of honesty, propel me through this odyssey Is fear or love the true motivation that I am sponsoring? (Fear!) I keep it undercover, demons Feasting on my troubles, keeping me from slumbering (Fear!) Is the gun in the cupboard. Deep inside the thugs and the lovers Our nature is to suffer it (Fear!) Of the other - why keep it undercover? The people grieve and suffer - it’s deeper than the Government (Fear!)
