Shape Of The Fear

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
