The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most

Dashboard Confessional · MTV Unplugged [2002]

Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself

And covered with a perfect shell

Such a charming beautiful exterior.

Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes, perfect posture

But you're barely scraping by, but you're barely scraping by.



Well this is one time, this is one time

That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone

Or anyone at all, or anyone at all.

And the grave that you refuse to leave

The refuge that you've built to flee

The places that you've come to fear the most

Is the place that you have come to fear the most.



Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself

And hidden in the public eye

Such a stellar monument to loneliness.

Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes, perfect makeup

But you're barely scraping by, but you're barely scraping by.



Well this is one time, this is one time

That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone

Or anyone at all, or anyone at all.

And the grave that you refuse to leave

The refuge that you've built to flee

The places that you've come to fear the most

Is the place that you have come to fear the most.



That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone

Or anyone at all, or anyone at all.

And the grave that you refuse to leave

The refuge that you've built to flee

The places that you've come to fear the most

Is the place that you have come to fear the most.

Is the place that you have come to fear the most.
