Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] A coat of arms is all we are The slow decay, a dying star A sinkhole for the crawling of the hours Afraid to be (Afraid to be) what I should be (What I should be) The sum of all (The sum of all), of new and old (Of new and old) Experience has made me none the wiser [Chorus] I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die Oh, oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh, whoa Dooh, dooh-dooh-dooh, dooh-dooh-dooh, dooh-dooh, dooh [Verse 2] Chimera's wreck around my neck To start again, to dream again To fix the things that cursed me from the start My father smiles (My father smiles) at me, the child (Me, the child) Getting tired (Now getting tired), losing drive (Losing drive) The clarity that age has brought to me [Bridge] A new town in the 60s Out of concrete, a design made for tomorrow And even when the rain comes We can still find a future in tomorrow [Chorus] I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die Oh, oh-oh, oh I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die (Oh) I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh Dooh, dooh-dooh-dooh, dooh-dooh-dooh, dooh-dooh, dooh Dooh, dooh-dooh-dooh, dooh-dooh-dooh, dooh-dooh, dooh Dooh, dooh-dooh-dooh, dooh-dooh-dooh, dooh-dooh, dooh Dooh, dooh-dooh-dooh, dooh-dooh-dooh, dooh-dooh, dooh [Instrumental Break] [Refrain] These, the things I did with my gifts This, the way I loved and I lived These, the things I did with my gifts This, the way I loved and I lived [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh I'm afraid to be happy and I Couldn't care less if I was to die (Oh) [Outro] Wash up on the shore Don't need you no more Chimera wreck will slip into the bottleneck Wash up on the shore Don't need you no more Chimera wreck will slip into the bottleneck Wash up on the shore Don't need you no more Chimera wreck will slip into the bottleneck
