Just A Fat Guy In a Red Velvet Jumpsuit with a Sack Full of Toys
What do I fear?
Mediocrity,
Not performing to the best of my ability
What do I fear?
Complacency
Losing my desire to fight competitively
I fear I am constantly choosing the wrong battle
Making a wrong left at the light
I fear I am wasting my time
What precious little of it I have tonight
What do I fear? Fear itself
What a romantic cliché
What gave me away?
What do I fear?
Being discovered
Losing my mystery
Blowing my cover
I fear for my unborn child, who I am already in love with
For my impending marriage, which according to statistics is practically doomed
I fear for the health of my mother, which is directly linked to my own
These unreasonable headaches, which have me entirely consumed
I strive to live haphazardly, in a state of nonchalance
Indifference is key to happiness, but responsibility is not?
So do we find a partner, and dance the dance
Or sit the whole thing out?
I want to believe in my fairy tale
But I’ve got Santa Claus all figured out
