[Verse 1]
Core-ten panel curtain disrupting
The pace, the peace, and the past
Even before they were constructing
Gehry said it was built to last
Mother country daddies commissioned
'Cause there's a stronger storm every fall
Nowhere left to climb when the ocean rises
Higher than the Kevlar walls

[Chorus]
Oh, fear's taken over
Fears take him over
Fear's taken over
Fear's taking over

[Verse 2]
Flipped bird faces Mecca from Fulton
In defiance never bows
No one asked permission from no one
Well, no one asked the folks in Bilbao
Brightiners huddled, conspiring
Rusted in the rockaway snow
Japanese fleet moves beneath our feet
That screeching midnight thunder below
Me, it bends like a wire
Soon to, the spire
Steel psycho structures
In dreams, falling over
[Chorus]
Fear taking over
Fears take him over
Fear's taken over

[Guitar Solo]
