[Spoken Word]
When Ed awoke on March first he was filled with a self loathing he could not endure
"I had no desire to continue living with all the problems that were inside my head."
Unable to make a living, at age 49, Alec walked into the woods near his house and shot himself
"I have taken my life in order to provide capital for you. It’s purely a business decision. I hope you can understand that."
"I have to undergo the constant pressure from auditors and it's more than I can stand. I just don't have the energy to start over
I didn’t want to mess up the house, so I'm back by the canoe"

Dr. Frank Galveston had a distinguished and productive career
He had a wife and kids; to all the world he appeared to have a rich and happy life
But at age 56, Frank walked down to his favorite beach in Pensacola, Florida and shot himself in the head
"Dearest Samantha, I can no longer endure the pain. I can no longer endure the pain. I can no longer endure the pain
We have often talked about when a person's time is up. And mine is now"

[Chorus]
Fear of life
Fear of life
Fear of life
Fear of, of my life
My fucked up life
Fear of life, my life

[Spoken Word Inserts]
I came home and found our son lying dead on his bed of a gunshot wound
He had his headphones on and there was an Ozzy record on the turntable, so we called our lawyer
I'm angry, I hate you. I also, of course, am not too satisfied with myself. I hold things off very well, and I'm gonna blow up the whole thing. Individual takes a bunch of pills, and a message maybe even stated explicitly, verbally
The individual says: I hate you, you’re an evil person. I, uh, want you to, uh, jump out the window, or kill your self, or shoot yourself, or make yourself a sacrifice to the deity and uh, goes ahead and does it

I just went back and got the razor blades and closed my eyes, and… sliced

[Chorus]
Fear of life
Fear of life
Fear of life
Fear of life

[Outro]
Falling, falling from my oppression
God, where are you now?
Falling, falling from my oppression
God, where are you now?
Where are you now?
God, where are you now?
Sanctity, the devil brought to me
And he told my fate
Sanctity, Sanctity, Sanctity, Sanctity
Sanctity, the devil brought to me
And he told my fate
Sanctity, Sanctity, Sanctity, Sanctity
