The Fear

Ben Howard · Every Kingdom [2011]

My my cold hearted child, tell me how you feel

Just a blade in the grass, a spoke unto the wheel

My my cold hearted child, tell me where it's all gone

Oh the luster of your bones, those arms that held you strong



I've been worryin' that my time is a little unclear

I've been worryin' that I'm losing the ones I hold dear

I've been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear



My my cold hearted child, tell me how you feel

Just a grain in the morning air, dark shadow on the hill

My my cold hearted child, tell me where it all falls

This apathy you feel will make a fool of us all



I've been worryin' that my time is a little unclear

I've been worryin' that I'm losing the ones I hold dear

I've been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear



And I will become what I deserve

Oh I will become what I deserve

Oh I will become what I deserve

Oh I will become what I deserve



I've been worryin', I've been worryin'

Oh I will become what I deserve

I've been worryin'

My time is a little unclear

Oh I will become what I deserve



I've been worryin', I've been worryin'

That my time is a little unclear

I've been worryin', I've been worryin'

That I'm losing the ones I hold dear

I've been worryin', I've been worryin'

That we all live our lives in the confines of fear
