Fear controls our minds sometimes
And comfort is often hard to find,
But I swear you'll find it in me.

My own shadows scare me to stone,
But I swear to God if I end up alone
I'll never live this life down.

Choices are made by thoughts we consume
Blur it out,
Bur it out,
When fear overtakes, it promises doom
Rise above,
Rise above,
Cancel out fear through each other right now,
We've got nothing to worry
Slow down, don't hurry
And we'll be able to sleep tonight with our eyes closed somehow.

Examine what makes us weak in the dark
Slowly ignite it by a match and a spark.
Embrace all the jumps that startle your veins,
Then acknowledge the feelings and the thoughts that you've gained.

Don't be a rookie in the place that we are
Keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on a star.
Don't get lost,
Don't give in,
Find strength in the night,
Because ultimately fear's gonna put up a fight.
