[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
