[Intro] FEAR: Don’t go COURAGE: You’ll be fine FEAR: Stay here COURAGE: Just try [Verse 1] FEAR: Why would you step into the open air? They’ll see you shaking, they’ll know you’re scared Your heart’s too loud, your hands will betray Stay in the room where you’re safe today COURAGE: You’ve walked this street so many times before The sky stayed quiet, the world didn’t roar This isn’t danger, it’s just a sound A false alarm screaming way too loud [Pre-Chorus] FEAR: What if you fall? COURAGE: Then you slow it down FEAR: What if they stare? COURAGE: They’re not looking now FEAR: What if it ends you? COURAGE: It never has FEAR: This feels different COURAGE: It’s the same old trap [Chorus] FEAR: Turn the lock, turn around The outside’s a trigger town One step out, you’ll lose control You’ll break right there, you’ll lose it all COURAGE: Open the door, count to four Feel the ground, you’re not at war This feeling’s loud but it can’t decide You don’t die from fear — you ride [Post-Chorus] FEAR / COURAGE (alternating): Stay / Go No / Slow Run / Breathe Hide / Believe [Verse 2] FEAR: Your chest is tight, that means something’s wrong Your vision’s fading, it won’t be long Listen to me, I’m keeping you alive If you don’t move, you’ll survive COURAGE: That’s adrenaline flooding your veins Not a heart attack, not insane You’ve felt this wave, you stayed afloat Every single time you didn’t choke [Pre-Chorus 2] FEAR: Something’s wrong COURAGE: Something’s loud FEAR: Turn back now COURAGE: Stay right now FEAR: You can’t COURAGE: I can FEAR: This is it COURAGE: This will pass [Bridge] YOU: Enough I hear you both inside my head One wants safety, one wants breath I’m not fearless, I’m not brave I’m just done living in a cage [Final Chorus] FEAR: I’m trying to keep you alive COURAGE: I’m trying to give you a life YOU: So I’ll take one step, not the whole street If I shake, I shake — I’m still on my feet You can shout, you can fight, tear me apart But today I walk out with a shaking heart [Outro] FEAR: I’ll whisper now COURAGE: I’ll stay close YOU: I turn the knob I’m not fearless But I’m not frozen
