Shadows

I, I, I, was always scared of the dark
No matter how hard I tried
I couldn't find the spark (the way out)

I, I, I see spirits all around me
Waiting for the worst to be
Pointing at me, they'd say

Look at him now, back in the corner, shaking again
We feed on your trauma, we live in your pain
You're never escaping, we're deep in your head
We're the monster under the covers of your bed
You think you're a fighter? You think you can run?
We've only started, we've just begun
Trapped in the maze, yeah, trapped in the night
You're losing the battle, you're losing the light

But the fire inside is starting to rise
I'm cutting the strings and severing ties
I used to be prey, now I'm leading the chase
I'm the master of fear in this haunted place

The shadows are fading, they're losing their grip
I'm steadying now, I won't let it slip
It's not that the darkness has vanished for good
It's just that I finally understood

I, I, I see spirits all around me
But the worst is no longer what I see
Pointing at me, they go silent

'Cause the fire inside is starting to rise
I'm cutting the strings and severing ties
I used to be prey, now I'm leading the chase
I'm the master of fear in this haunted place

They used to say, but they don't anymore
Darkness is just an empty room
And I am the light
(I am the way out)
