The Shape Of The Fear Lyrics - Knapsack

All this concern over these cards overturned 

The cold light shows too much 

Bruise-colored blood who's getting to rush 

Smoke made it clear 

Holding in the worst 

Gives shape to the fear 

As they sang along, the chorus and verse 

The shake of the shame 

But it hangs around your name 

For the first time you're afraid 

And you take what they left 

Choke on their success 

But you're nothing anyway 

The way I mistook 

How an overbite might look 

Like a smile on the face of a girl 

And the way she's hating the world 

Strength in the arms 

Pulling empty hall alarms 

But nobody heard 

In a room where they wait and rehearse 

The shake of the shame 

But it hangs around your name 

For the first time you're afraid 

And you take what they left 

Choke on their success 

But you're nothing anyway 

It's getting too much 

The bruise-colored blood was beginning to rush 

The shake of the shame 

But it hangs around your name 

For the first time you're afraid 

And you take what they left 

Choke on their success 

But you're nothing anyway
