Pears Comfortably Dumb Lyrics

I am afraid, afraid of my shadow
So I don't go outside
Afraid of my dentist
So my teeth are fallin' out
My canines are septic
All flesh and decay
Cause I only bite if I'm threatened, afraid
Fight or flight switch
On when it broke
An uneasy punchline
A horrible joke
The fictional frontline
To which I've been drafted
Will bend to my will
If it ever should happen
But wartime cares not
For joy of existing
I can't help but wonder
The world I am missing
And I am terrified
Of what I have become
Comfortably dumb
Endearing to some
Peddling scares
In the place of a pass time But I'm just a lily
Disguised as a landmine
For short bursts of Time
I puff out my chest
But my asthma requires
Me to take baby breaths
My closest connections
Transmissions in code
And I miss my Memaw
When I'm on the road
I'm oddly obsessed
With being depressed
I'd heal if I wanted
But likely remain a mess
I am terrified
Of what I have become
Comfortably dumb
Endearing to some
I am terrified
Of what I have become
Comfortably dumb
Endearing to some
And I am terrified
Of what I have become
Observed from a distance
Endearing to none
