Lyrics:

Originally by Peter Gabriel

I'm scared of swimming in the seaÂ
Dark shapes moving under meÂ
Every fear I swallow makes me smallÂ
Inconsequential things occurÂ
Alarms are triggeredÂ
Memories stirÂ

It's not the way it has to beÂ

I'm afraid of what I do not knowÂ
I hate being underminedÂ
I'm afraid I can be devil manÂ
And I'm scared to be divineÂ
Don't mess with me my fuse is shortÂ
Beneath this skin these fragments caughtÂ

When I allow it to beÂ
There's no control over meÂ
I have my fearsÂ
But they do not have meÂ

Walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woodsÂ
The deeper I go, the darker it getsÂ
I peer through the windowÂ
Knock at the doorÂ
And the monster I wasÂ
So afraid ofÂ
Lies curled up on the floorÂ
Is curled up on the floor just like a baby boyÂ

I cry until I laughÂ

I'm afraid of being motheredÂ
With my balls shut in the penÂ
I'm afraid of loving womenÂ
And I'm scared of loving menÂ
Flashbacks coming in every nightÂ
Don't tell me everything's alrightÂ

When I allow it to beÂ
It has no control over meÂ
I own my fearÂ
So it doesn't own meÂ

Walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woodsÂ
The deeper I go, the darker it getsÂ
I peer through the windowÂ
Knock at the doorÂ
And the monster I wasÂ
So afraid ofÂ
Lies curled up on the floorÂ
Is curled up on the floor just like a baby boyÂ

I cry until I laugh
