Baptized In Fear Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, no, ooh, no, shit
[Verse]
I fell asleep in the tub, I was met with paralysis
My foot hit the faucet, water started flowing in
Couldn’t scream for help, I just slowly felt the pressure hit
Moving one toe was the only form of motion left
Can’t breathe for air, can’t breathe
Trying to remember everything that my preacher said
Tryna right my wrongs, my regrets filling up my head
All the times I dodged death, this can’t be the way it ends, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Figure in the corner I can’t quite see (Quite see)
I just know the shadow’s staring at me
It gets closer, it gets closer, it gets closer now
Figure in the corner laughing at me (At me)
Water fill my lungs, vision blurry
Heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower
[Chorus]
Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on
Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on
Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on
Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on
[Bridge]
I’ve been baptized in fear, my dear
I’ve been the chief of sin
Washing my soul within
I’ve been baptized in fear, my dear
Like Paul, I’m the chief of sin
Washing my soul within, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Figure in the corner I can’t quite see (Quite see)
I just know the shadow’s staring at me
It gets closer, it gets closer, it gets closer now
Figure in the corner laughing at me (At me)
Water fill my lungs, vision blurry
Heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower
[Chorus]
Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on
Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on
Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on
Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on
Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on
Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on
