Maybe the only thing we have to fear is the fear of fear.
Lyrics to today’s song “The Fear is Silent”:
I thought I saw some humans but I missed em
Cause fear just kept them covered in the system
I thought I saw some lips and so I kissed em
But fear spat propaganda for the system
Fear said to me that the only way to be a member’s
If the only fun times are the fun times that I don’t remember
And fear said if I want to be the salt the light the leaven
Then I mostly need more squinty eyes with hands held up to heaven
And the fear said that to join the club that’s driving round the Bentley
Means a capitalistic life spent at work is life well spently
And the fear certainly never left a single shred of doubt
That a person’s value’s based upon how well their kids turned out
The fear is in the storm and in the quiet
It’s there when you are poor or flush to buy it
And it makes sure that your staying well in line, it
Fills the system with the systemites inside it
When it comes don’t push it down or try to hide it
Let it be just what it is don’t try to style it
When you love the part that fears and don’t defile it
The fear is silent
Tell me all your fears, why don’t you list em
And I’ll tell you why your trapped within the system
ask me all your questions, don’t resist em
Cause questions shake the pillars of the system
Pillar one is if you have some inkling for belonging
Then accept their definition of the righting and the wronging
Pillar two says they are fine with failing or succeeding
Yeah as long as those don’t compromise this system that they’re needing
Pillar three’s if you can’t be some version of the same
Then shame upon shame upon shame upon shame
Pillar four is they want more from you than you can give
Cause the system should seem valid every moment that you live
The fear is in the storm and in the quiet
It’s there when you are poor or flush to buy it
And it makes sure that your staying well in line, it
Fills the system with the systemites inside it
When it comes don’t push it down or try to hide it
Let it be just what it is don’t try to style it
When you love the part that fears and don’t defile it
The fear is silent
Your anger is the wall that hurts the ones who are outside
Your fear is just the voice that wants the wall there to survive
Your pain is what you’re feeling everyday that you’re alive
And your courage tells you that this is the time to take the dive
Into the pain will kill you but from those dark ashes you will rise
And your anger all will melt away as you will see the lie
Your fear’ll no longer push a system keeping you in line
It will be silent
So ask me all your questions don’t resist em
And tell me all your fears go on and list em
And love the parts that fear and once you’ve kissed em
Then let their silence free you from the system
