[Verse 1]
Static in the headlines
Teeth behind the screen
Dripping poisoned questions
Into everything I think I mean
Crowds move like a rumor
Eyes all glazed and dead
Smile for the camera
Baby
Let it crawl inside your head
[Chorus]
It’s a virus in my head
Fear marching like a god over everything
I can feel it in my chest
Trying to bend my bones till I just agree
I won’t worship what I dread
I’d rather choke than let it own my sky
If the whole world’s ruled by fear
Then I’ll be the reason why it dies (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Billboards selling panic
Underneath the pretty paint
Blessed be the anxious
Canonized as saints
Every word’s a weapon
Every eye’s a judge
Touch me with your terror
Watch how little that I budge (ooh)
[Chorus]
It’s a virus in my head
Fear marching like a god over everything
I can feel it in my chest
Trying to bend my bones till I just agree
I won’t worship what I dread
I’d rather choke than let it own my sky
If the whole world’s ruled by fear
Then I’ll be the reason why it dies
[Bridge]
Let it in
It hollowed them out
Turned their spines into salt
I chew on my doubt till it bleeds
Then spit it back as revolt (hey!)
If I’m infected
I’ll twist it into rage
Write my symptoms
Across the stage
[Chorus]
It’s a virus in my head
Fear marching like a god over everything
I can feel it in my chest
Trying to bend my bones till I just agree
I won’t worship what I dread
I’d rather burn than let it own my sky
If the whole world’s ruled by fear
Then I’ll be the reason
Yeah
I’ll be the reason
I’ll be the reason why it dies
