"Baptized In Fear"

Yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah (oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

No, mm, no

No, no, yeah

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 (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

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

Heart beats slower, heart beats slower, heart beats slower

Voices will tell me that I should carry on

Voices will tell me that I should carry on

Voices will tell me that I should carry on

Voices will tell me that I should carry on

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

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 (oh, yeah)

Figure in the corner laughing at me (at me)

Water fill my lungs, vision blurry (ooh, yeah)

Heart beats slower (yeah), heart beats slower (oh, yeah), heart beats slower

Voices will tell me that I should carry on

Voices will tell me that I should carry on (oh, no)

Voices will tell me that I should carry on

Voices will tell me that I should carry on (oh, no)

Voices will tell me that I should carry on

Voices will tell me that I should carry on
