First To Go

Fear of Music
Is is that constant state of threat
That gets you, that gets you out of bed?
Is the stranger talking sense in the mirror
That gets you, that gets you down the stairs? and says,
"This is what you get when you ask too many questions, ask too many questions,
This is how it goes when you know things that you should not know (things that you should not know)."
It's not that feeling you think you have,
It's something you can't unmask.
And not something you'd swallow whole,
It won't ask for your soul,
But it is the first to go.
What does he do when he's alone?
There are two of me:
One that wants to know,
And one that tells me to stay at home and says:
"This is what you get when you ask too many questions, (ask too many questions)
This is how it goes when you know things that you should not know (things that you should not know)."
It's not that feeling you think you have,
It's something you can't unmask.
And not something you'd swallow whole,
It won't ask for your soul,
But it is the first to go.
