Brave

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)
