How do I quiet all these voices screaming in my head
I hear them whisper through the static on my TV set
They show reflections like a mirror as I lay in bed
So many years and now the voice feels like my oldest friend
This is a war, fire and steel
I was a fool to bring you here
This is a war, fire and steel
You have come too near
Every night, every night I tell myself to be brave
Myself to be brave
In the dark, in the dark monsters come from their caves
They come from their caves
Try to hide, try to hide but there is no escape
There is no escape
So I lie, so I lie and say that I'm not afraid
But I am afraid
How many songs will I write before this goes away
Cause every word feels like a puzzle leading me astray
It's an illusion, but the warnings make me hesitate
Sometimes I feel just like an actor in this masquerade
This is a war, fire and steel
I was a fool to bring you here
This is a war, fire and steel
You have come too near
Every night, every night I tell myself to be brave
Myself to be brave
In the dark, in the dark monsters come from their caves
They come from their caves
Try to hide, try to hide but there is no escape
There is no escape
So I lie, so I lie and say that I'm not afraid
But I am afraid
Oh, I wore you like a shadow
But now I need a raincoat
To make it to the sun
Oh, I wore you like a shadow
But now I need a raincoat
To make it to the sun
Every night, every night I tell myself to be brave
Myself to be brave
In the dark, in the dark monsters come from their caves
They come from their caves
Try to hide, try to hide but there is no escape
There is no escape
So I lie, so I lie and say that I'm not afraid
But I am afraid
