First single from Crack Horse’s 4th album. Kill Fear is a song about not letting anxiety and hesitation take hold. It’s about not missing out on who you could be from fear of how they see you, or a fate that hasn’t happened yet, or a person you dread becoming. It’s about having the courage to slowly move through the overwhelming noise and the bleak thoughts. It’s about being patient and building the life you choose to lead. Kill Fear champions those who feel afraid but move forward with grace anyway.
lyrics
Hey now, girl, kill fear
No matter where it goes
Just keep faith near
Well, everybody knows
It’s the name of the game
Number of souls you touch
Or you take, better still
Hold on
Hold on
Till it comes for you
Can you
Hold on
Till it comes for you
Thinking always with your eyes, not your heart
Thinking always with your eyes, not your heart
Like a slow chrysalis
Just a slow chrysalis
Just take it slow
Hey now, boy, learn fear
Of being like he was
You can be a seer
And everything can grow
It’s the name of the game
Number of souls you touch
It can heal
It kills until the brain fades
Hold on
Hold on
Till it comes for you
Can you
Hold on
Till it comes for you
Thinking always with your eyes, not your heart
Thinking always with your eyes, not your heart
So many times you’ve played the game the same way, with same results
The only person that you hurt’s yourself and baby that’s the crux
Patience knows your name, knows your ways and loves it when you rush
But if you’re wily you’ll get everything that’s coming to ya
Hold on
Hold on
Till it comes for you
Can you
Hold on
Till it comes for you
Thinking always with your eyes, not your heart
Thinking always with your eyes, not your heart
Hey now, girl, kill fear
No matter where it goes
Hey now, boy, kill fear
No matter where it goes
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Crack Horse is a dive into the darkness; of closed-eye visions; of coloured lights crawling down the pitch black walls. Wonders that pull you deep into the night.
