J. Fein - Chalk It Up to JFK

The fear bubbled and it almost hit boil and my heartbeat started to race
What my mind's eye saw made the blood in my body run sprints in the tips of my veins
They feed you the fear that they need you to hear so you can conjure up an image of pain

It was the
Same thing when I was younger
The sun gave up when the clouds gave thunder
Now we better walk strong when we're walking along the way

I've got a logical process
Except for all that's unknown
And you can chalk it up to JFK
I would take on Goliath with a sling and a stone
The only thing I'm scared of
Is being afraid

I know deep down that the cinematic monsters
Probably aren't coming for me
But it's dark in my room and the closet is creaking
So I clench up my fists like Mohammad Ali
They're fully aware that I'm easy to scare
You know the movies like to make me believe

That it's the
Same thing when you get older
By yourself in the middle of the night
You get a nonsense surge of adrenaline

I've got a logical process
Except for all that's unknown
And you can chalk it up to JFK
I would take on Goliath with a sling and a stone
The only thing I'm scared of
Is being afraid

As I ascend the stairs of this dilapidated house
I've been told is haunted
By the girl who died here
Back in the day

The fear bubbles and it almost hits boil and my heartbeat starts to race
The vision of my mind makes the blood in my body
Run sprints in the tips of my veins
They feed you the fear that they need you to hear so you can conjure up an image of pain

It's the
Same thing in the ever present
I get to scared to get out of bed but
I better get up, get out, and make my day

The only thing I'm scared of
Is being afraid

It's the
Same thing in the ever present
I get too scared to get out of bed but
I better walk strong when I'm walking along the way
