Dread and the Fugitive Mind

Let me introduce myself

I'm a social disease

I've come for your wealth

Leave you on your knees

No time for feeling sorry

I got here on my own

I won't ask for mercy

I choose to walk alone

Oh what's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine too

If you shake my hand, better count your fingers

What if I do get caught?

What if there is no judgement?

If I'm right, I lose nothing

If you're right, I lose it all

I ought to get caught

Because I'm doing something wicked

I'm guilty, haunted by my fears and the only consequences

Are dread and the fugitive mind

You built walls to protect you

So no one will infect you

Pursued by those out there

That vanish in thin air

Come a long way to find

What you really left behind

You don't know when the end is

But it's coming fast

Oh what's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine too

If you shake my hand, better count your fingers

What if I do get caught?

What if there is no judgement?

If I'm right, I lose nothing

If you're right, I lose it all

I ought to get caught

Because I'm doing something wicked

I'm guilty, haunted by my fears and the only consequences

Are dread and the fugitive mind
