"Fear & Cowardice" lyrics

Held out for the one that stung
Branded and sticking around
I never tried to stay among
Some like playing the clown

As you swallow till your belly's round
You forgot to chew
It's a taste so wrong, you play along
You forget to choose

So what are you running from?
You're not getting away
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And they made it

So what do you tell yourself?
It's hard to explain
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And it's mayday

Wild man spun some words that stuck
Branded and sticking around
At the altar of the mighty book
You wonder what's keeping you down

As you swallow till your belly's round
You forget to chew
And it feels so wrong, you play along
You know you get to choose

So what are you running from?
You're not getting away
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And they made it

So what do you tell yourself?
It's hard to explain
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And it's mayday

So what are you running from?
You're not getting away
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And they made it

So what do you tell yourself?
If you don't understand
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And it's mayday

So what are you running from?
You're not getting away
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And they made it

So what do you tell yourself?
It's hard to explain
Fear and cowardice
Here and now
And it's mayday
