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)
