Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, no, ooh, no, shit
I fell asleep in the tub, I was met with paralysis
My foot hit the faucet, water started flowing in
Couldn't scream for help, I just slowly felt the pressure hit
Moving one toe was the only form of motion left
Can't breathe for air, can't breathe
Trying to remember everything that my preacher said
Tryna right my wrongs, my rеgrets filling up my head
All the timеs I dodged death, this can't be the way it ends, no
Figure in the corner I can't quite see (Quite see)
I just know the shadow's staring at me
It gets closer, it gets closer, it gets closer now
Figure in the corner laughing at me (At me)
Water fill my lungs, vision blurry
Heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower
Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
I've been baptized in fear, my dear
I've been the chief of sin
Washing my soul within
I've been baptized in fear, my dear
Like Paul, I'm the chief of sin
Washing my soul within, oh
Figure in the corner I can't quite see (Quite see)
I just know the shadow's staring at me
It gets closer, it gets closer, it gets closer now
Figure in the corner laughing at me (At me)
Water fill my lungs, vision blurry
Heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower
Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
Voices'll tell me that I should carry on
Voices'll tell me that I should carry on

"Baptized in Fear" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd. It was released through XO and Republic Records as the sixth track from his sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, on January 31, 2025. The song was written and produced by the Weeknd himself, OPN, Nathan Salon, with Mike Dean also having helped produce it.
On "Baptized in Fear", the Weeknd sings about letting his anxieties control him, expressing feelings of shame and guilt as he sings: "Figure in the corner laughing at me / Water fill my lungs, vision blurry". He shows his lyrical depth as he discusses the feelings of having a panic attack. Writing for Slant Magazine, Nick Seip felt that the song "sounds like a crisper, more confident version of the balladry" that is prevalent in the Weeknd's debut studio album, Kiss Land (2013). Carl Lamarre of Billboard ranked "Baptized in Fear" as the second best song on Hurry Up Tomorrow along with the song before it, "Until We're Skin & Bones", calling the latter song "The Weeknd at his peak form".
