Comfortably Dumb

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] '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 [Chorus] I am terrified of what I have become Comfortably dumb, endearing to some [Verse 2] Peddling scares in the place of a pastime 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 The 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'll likely remain a mess [Chorus] I am terrified of what I have become Comfortably dumb, endearing to some [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] 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
