Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thought it was a wolf in the doorway
Teeth out, breath hot on my face
But it’s just my coat on a hanger
And my heart still runnin’ like a chase
Every nightmare built on a guess
Every guess just dressed up stress
That shadow talk loud on the wall
But it shrinks when you step in and press
[Pre-Chorus]
All this time
I’ve been scared of a silhouette
All this time
Givin’ weight to what I never met
[Chorus]
Most fear is a reflection, not a threat (hey!)
Just a shadow in the path where the lantern’s set
Move the lantern and the monster changes shape
Yeah, the closer to the light, the bigger that fake
Most fear is a reflection, not a threat (say what?)
Just a story that your stomach won’t forget
Step forward, let it fall right off the edge
Most fear is a reflection, not a threat
[Verse 2]
See it stretch tall on the pavement
Lookin’ like a giant I can’t fight
But that’s just me standin’ closer
To a tiny little tremblin’ light
Anxious hands draw claws on the ceiling
Mind paints fangs on a harmless face
But when I lean in, blink once
It’s just dust floatin’ in the same place
[Pre-Chorus]
All this time
I’ve been spooked by my own breath
All this time
Turnin’ rumors into death
[Chorus]
Most fear is a reflection, not a threat (yeah!)
Just a shadow in the path where the lantern’s set
Move the lantern and the monster changes shape
Yeah, the closer to the light, the bigger that fake
Most fear is a reflection, not a threat (oh!)
Just a habit that your heartbeat still respects
Step forward ‘til the dark got nothin’ left
Most fear is a reflection, not a threat
[Bridge]
Turn the light, watch it bend (watch it bend)
All that dread just pretend (just pretend)
If it grows when you grow
That’s a trick, that’s a show
It can’t touch you, it can’t win (nah)
[Chorus]
Most fear is a reflection, not a threat
Just a shadow in the path where the lantern’s set
Move the lantern and the monster changes shape
Yeah, the closer to the light, the bigger that fake
Most fear is a reflection, not a threat
Just a rumor that your ribcage once kept
Step forward, let the dark lose every bet
Most fear is a reflection, not a threat
