Amanda Palmer - The Child Who Went Forth To Learn What Fear Was Lyrics

THE CHILD WHO WENT FORTH TO LEARN WHAT FEAR WAS Lyrics[Verse]
Don't wanna scare you, but we need to talk
It's only fair you know a few things about me
Before we start
And if you're determined after learning
Of this little issue of mine that you need to go
I won't be surprised

[Verse]
You strike me as someone who's seen quite a lot
But in my honest opinion I doubt this will work
Like you thought
There's something specific I need you to do
If you're up to the task, which you don't seem to be
By the way that you're still staring back with no change of expression
But hey, we can give it a shot

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I was, I wish I was
I wish, I wish, I wish I was
I wish I was, I wish I was
I wish I was afraid because

[Chorus]
I'vе seen how people work
I've watchеd them all these years
They are not driven by ambition
All their motives run on fear
Each one afraid of aging, dying
Being lonely, missing out
Terrified of moving on
But scared of staying here

[Verse]
I bared my neck to the teeth of the night
They held my head underwater for minutes
I didn't mind
I've been blind, valentine
At the mercy of strangers, they beat me, whatever
My heart didn't race
I was fine

[Verse]
I got them to hang me from terrible heights
They took me to places of poverty, malice, unspeakable war
I've seen people die
They left me at night in the heart of the forest
The air full of noises, the creatures that eat us
Feet from my face
I did not run, and I

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I was, I wish I was
I wish I was afraid because
I wish I was, I wish I was
Afraid, afraid, I wish because

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I was, I wish I was
I wish I afraid because
I wish I wish I because
If you're not scared, you're not in love (You're not scared you're not in love)

[Chorus]
I've seen how people work
I've watched them all these years
They are not driven by ambition
All their motives run on fear
Each one afraid of aging, dying
Being lonely, missing out
Terrified of moving on
But scared of staying here

[Outro]
Help me understand fear
Will you teach me to fear?
