Manufactured Fear
Lyrics and Music by Michael Louis
Kill the lights and draw the shades and lock your doors
Watch the news and climb the walls and wait for war
Turn up the TV, buy into the fear
Seclude yourself inside, believe all you hear
The end is upon us in 4, 3, 2, 1
The earth becomes one with the sun
Danger, danger
Everyone’s scared of something today
Stranger, stranger
Everyone’s scared to look your way
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the most fragile of them all?
Something wicked’s in the air
One more headline, one more scare
Excitation of the herd,
Manufactured fear is stirred
Brace yourself for the worst because you know time is short
Hide your weapons underground and man your fort
Everything around you will cause you harm
Everyone is suspect and cause for alarm
They want you to believe fabricated lies
Control through fear, and polarize
Danger, danger
Everyone’s scared of something today
Stranger, stranger
Everyone’s scared to look your way
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the most fragile of them all?
Something wicked’s in the air
One more headline, one more scare
Danger, Danger, 4, 3, 2, 1
Stranger, stranger
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Excitation of the herd,
Manufactured fear is stirred
Danger, danger, everyone’s scared
Stranger, stranger, everyone’s scared
Exploitation, manufactured fear is stirred
Danger, danger
Everyone’s scared of something today
Stranger, stranger
Everyone’s scared to look your way
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the most fragile of them all?
Something wicked’s in the air
One more headline, one more scare
Excitation of the herd,
Manufactured fear is stirred
Danger, danger
Everyone’s scared of something today
Danger, danger
Everyone hides themselves away
Stranger, stranger
Everyone’s scared to look your way
Stranger, stranger
Everyone has such fear today
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Something wicked’s in the air
Danger, danger everywhere
Danger, danger
Everyone’s scared to look your way

Absolutely one of my favorite goth rock bands and albums!! I listen to this album on repeat sometimes; it just never gets old to me. It’s so haunting and beautiful in places and dark and gritty in others, which makes it exemplary goth rock music in my opinion. Exactly the kind of listening experience I want and enjoy so much. Thank you <3 asphodel
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
