fear is a sickness

Title: “Fear Is a Sickness” Intro (spoken / eerie) They never tell you this part… Fear don’t just live in your head. It spreads. Verse 1 Fear is a sickness, it creeps in slow, Starts as a whisper, then takes control, Got you second-guessing every step you take, Living in a cage that you didn’t make. It infects your thoughts, got you doubting your worth, Got you scared to be loud, scared to take up space on this earth, They call it “being safe,” I call it being numb, Living half-alive like your life already done. I been coughing up dreams I was scared to breathe, Swallowing pain just to make them believe, But fear don’t protect you, it weakens the soul, It’s a slow-burn poison eating holes. Pre-Hook (build) They told me stay small, stay quiet, stay still, But fear don’t heal—only courage will. HOOK (strong & chantable) Fear is a sickness, running through my veins Got me feeling alive but locked in chains I need a cure, I need a change I’m done letting fear call my name Fear is a sickness, I feel it inside But I’m fighting back, I’m choosing life I won’t die slowly, I won’t stay blind Fear is the sickness—hope is the fight Verse 2 They feed us the panic, sell us the dread, Keep us addicted to what might happen next, Every headline got a price on your peace, Every screen another dose of disease. I seen fear turn love into war, Turn brothers into strangers, shut hearts, close doors, Make good people hard, make strong people fold, Make the truth feel dangerous, make lies feel bold. But I seen courage walk through the flames, Still shaking, still scared, still saying my name, Ain’t nothing wrong with feeling afraid— Something wrong when fear makes decisions you make. Pre-Hook I’m done being patient with my own decay, I choose the pain of growth over fear every day. Verse 3 (rise / victorious) I’m not immune, I just learned the signs, When fear starts talking like it’s divine, I check the facts, I check my soul, Fear ain’t God, it don’t run my road. I’m healing now, every step I take, Every time I choose truth over fake, Fear tried to kill me quietly— But I’m still here, and I’m finally free. FINAL HOOK (anthem / layered vocals) Fear is a sickness—but I found the cure Truth in my chest, faith in my core I won’t live small, I won’t live sore Fear don’t own me anymore Fear is a sickness, I name it, I see it I cut it out, I don’t feed it I choose my voice, I choose my light Fear was the sickness—LOVE is the fight Outro (spoken) Fear is a symptom. Not the truth. And you don’t have to live sick.
