Anna Rose Harding - Fear In The Mailbox Lyrics

Every morning, I hear the slam
The mailbox clicks, I know the scam
Another letter, another bill
This uphill fight is a bitter pill
I dread the sound, I fear the sight
That little box kills my delight
Debt keeps piling, the pressure's real
This sinking ship has lost its wheel
Red ink stains, my heart beats fast
How much longer can I last
The numbers rise, I lose my place
My bank account's a cold, dark space
Fear in the mailbox, haunts my days
Every letter's another blaze
No escape, it's closing in
Drowning in this paper thin
Fear in the mailbox, breaks me down
Every bill's another round
Another month, another fight
I'm barely holding on tonight
The landlord's knocking, phone won't quit
They want it all, they don't give a bit
Electric's high, gas is through
I'm out of luck, and out of clues
I tear them open, sweat falls fast
Each new debt outdoes the last
The cost of life, it's always climbing
This fear I feel is paralyzing
Red ink stains, I'm hanging low
Counting days, with nowhere to go
They say "just pay," but they don't know
I'm broke as hell, the answer's no
Fear in the mailbox, haunts my days
Every letter's another blaze
No escape, it's closing in
Drowning in this paper thin
Fear in the mailbox, breaks me down
Every bill's another round
Another month, another fight
I'm barely holding on tonight
I hear the paper hit the floor
Can't take this anymore
One more day, I'm losing ground
But these bills keep circling 'round
Wish I could burn them all away
But they'll be back another day
Fear's got me in a chokehold tight
This never-ending, sleepless night
Fear in the mailbox, haunts my days
Every letter's another blaze
No escape, it's closing in
Drowning in this paper thin
Fear in the mailbox, breaks me down
Every bill's another round
Another month, another fight
I'm barely holding on tonight
Fear in the mailbox, coming fast
Another notice, how long will I last
I'm on the edge, I'm losing ground
In this nightmare, I'm forever bound
