I considered writing down all my fears on a single blank sheetBut I don't know where to buy big rolls of butcher paperI considered telling you that I suffer from Agoraphobia-phobiaThat I'm afraid that one dayI'll be too afraid to leave my houseThat my couch will be my cloisterAnd my habits my attireAnd the ants in their cells my monksI considered setting all my fears to musicBut I don't know how to transcribe whispersI don't know how to notate nonsenseWhat's the symbol for a nervous hiccup?A broken grace-note, a shattered tieA dissonant chord chopping through all the good melodiesI decided to leave poor enough aloneBecause my fears are really shadowpuppetsAnd if I want, I can move the flashlight away from my handsExcept when I'm not holding the flashlightOr When I'm not running my handsOr When I'm not in charge of eyeball mechanicsBut I'm not strapped to a dogchair in an alligatorcaveAnd so rabbitfist shadows aren't my only contextLetras de cancionesAnd I've seen real rabbits, and I've walked a dogAnd it's ok to be afraid of alligatorsAnd crackhead muggersAnd ten car pile-upsAnd black moldAnd deathIt's ok to be afraid that your fears can grow strongerBecause that just proves they can grow weaker too From Letras Mania
