lyrics

is the disc skipping or am I just tripping?
it's like smoking in the gym it is not quite fitting
slipped in to expensive and excessive drinking
I get all my hangovers especially shipped in
news just in! it`s your brain speaking
it`s pay back time for your wonderful weekend
that company your keeping that poison you leak in
the sober door is creaking watch reality creep in
that thudding noise may be your head or your heart
time to master the art of a panic attack
there`s an actual fear here you must now re-enact
those days you got the knock back , those times you got the sack
recollect the absurd things you said word for word
horrific past vivid , happiness vague and blurred
think of that `I love you` that you once slurred
you could hear a pin drop when you got ignored
you could hear the heart break from a hundred yards away
last night i seen you breakdance but naw not today
I seen you shuffle on the subway with a cold mince pie
reeking of tobacco with defeat in your eye
avoiding people that you know 'cause they ask how you are
delusion of self can only take you thus far
there was a glint in your eye mere seconds later
you got a confidence boost from an anonymous stranger
did you smile back ? nay danger!
what does that make ye? forget ye hud a bird? that makes you a traitor
in a pickle out of luck in store detection
fickle outgoing fuck with an inward inflection
out of battery , hen, in the red reception
being late paying yer rents the only way they pay attention
you don`t warrant a mention your constantly withdrawn
like a crackhead's curtain at the crack of dawn
oh its on fuckhead you had better believe it
how dare you have the cheek to even speak of a mistreatment
you made your bed now and you might as well have shat in it
the knives are out now and the claws are sharpening
the days are darkening you dehydrated mannequin
that bad review was accurate you had better pack it in
you had better sort it out and get yourself together
and get the heid doon coz up ahead is stormy weather
I am the fear and I wrote you a letter
like a broken vow from the Daily Record
I'm Nick Clegg's face saying your better together
The Queen on Christmas Day defending austerity measures
Like a header fay Conor McGregor then a jab
am a massive pack of monkeys attached to your back
I am the angry polis man who would like a little chat
I'm the prick at the back that laughs at Scottish Boom Bap
I'm that bouncer who never lets you in
after stroking his chin with a Martin Shkreli grin
I am your phone in a taxi that is now switched off
i am the marker pen that you can`t get off
i am the train you ran for on a final warning
for that job that you hate on a Monday morning
I am the bars shut! is it? ya bastart!
I'm saying your doing swell to your ex while your plastered
i am the worse cunt , the bad yin
I'm a bad punchline like a coked up Audley Harrison
am a lazy journalist way a proclaimers comparison
wearing a pair of sandals , way a hole , that`s embarrassing
I'm the tax man, I'm the bad man
i'm a mad bam who'll spam your daft plans with a bank scam
then serve you bad scran with a flat can ya fan dan
I am the fear
