Chicken

Scared when I use like I'm losing
Scared when I'm speaking alone
Scared when I'm high and I'm groovy
Scared when I'm sad on the low

Scared when I'm making the music
Scared I'll forget it all
Scared when I'm bleeding profusely
Scared it'll leak, it'll show

Scared I'm immersed when I'm swimming
Scared I won't finally float
Scared I have no business in it
Scared I will never devote

Scared that this headache is deeper
Scared that it's more than I thought
Scared that this mountain is steeper
Steeper than I ever fought

Scared that I'll never be thinner
Scared that they'll drown my esteem
Scared that I don't have a figure
Scared that I'm never the dream
