I'm Afraid (Dawn's Song of Fears)

[Verse 1]

I'm afraid of heights, afraid of tryin'

And I'm afraid I might have been a little stupid to write this song

I'm afraid that during high winds

The stop sign will uproot and decapitate me

Or that I might thrive under Scientology

I'm afraid that after I die

Someone will have sex with my dead body

And be like, "Not worth it"

I'm afraid I could raise a son who'd get radicalized on Reddit

Or that he'll Back to the Future, and I'll think he's hot

And I'm afraid that I'll accidentally text a pic of my vagina to my dad

And I'm afraid that on Ancestry.com

I might find out I have a bunch of half siblings

And they'll want to be in my life

I'm afraid that if I got an awful disease, I wouldn't be brave

I'd just be a bitch and be mean or if I needеd emergency hеart surgery

The doctor would go, "Hello nipple hair"

Sometimes I'm afraid to hold a new baby

What if I lose control of my arms for a second?

And throw it at the ceiling fan or something like that

Can't I trust my arms?

[Verse 2]

And I'm afraid, that under every bus stop is a sinkhole of rats

And I'm afraid, they lie about expiration dates and my hummus is fungus

And afraid that the second I leave town, I'll get a UTI

Why can't they just sell those pills over the counter?

I don't need a doctor

I know exactly what it is

[Verse 3]

Oh, back to my kid, I have more stuff about him

I only breastfed for four months, is he gonna be a bond trader?

And I'm afraid that if I'm lucky enough to be 80

I'll be one of those ladies who's entire scalp is visible when the sun shines through her salmon colored hair

And I'm afraid that someone will find out that I memorized all the words to Macklemore's "Thrift Shop"

Or that I bought seven seasons of The Mentalist

And of course, I'm afraid that somewhere, deep inside of me, is a lost tampon

Where did you go? Where did you go?

I am afraid
