Listen here: I Need to Scare You

Written and performed by Patrick, to the tune “I Think I Love You” sung by The Partridge Family and written by Tony Romeo.

I am hiding and minding my own business
You open up the cabinet and I find that I’m no longer by myself
Before I shift my shape I scan the fear behind your eyes
And take a scary form though it’s only a disguise
I need to scare you

This morning I changed into a spider
I knew that when you saw me you wouldn’t find it funny in the least
But you will never know the true shape that I show
I keep it to myself as I hide on this dark shelf
I need to scare you

I need to scare you so why are you still laughing?
I’ve probed your insecurity and your fears that you keep hidden
I need to scare you this is what my life is made of
Though it worries me to see that you never scream and flee

(break)

You don’t know what I see in you
You can’t know what it’s all about
I want to make you scream and shout

Hey, I need to scare you so why are you still laughing?
I’ve probed your inner sanctums of the deepest fears you hide from
I need to scare you this is what my life is made of
So it worries me to see that you never scream and flee

This evening I changed into a spectre
But you didn’t find it frightening so I tried again and over once again
Through your fears I took a stroll but your emotions you controlled
I knew confusion and disgust as you cried “ridikulus!”
I couldn’t scare you

I couldn’t scare you
I couldn’t scare you
